Moment of Zen

At the end of "The Daily Show" there is always the "moment of zen". It's usually something very bizarre from the day's news.

"The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara" was an hour and a half of these very odd moments. In this movie Mr. McNamara intelligently & thoughtfully discusses his experiences in public life. The movie contains everything from almost gleeful remarks about fire-bombing to a touching scene where he breaks down talking about JFK's burial plot at Arlington. It was fascinating and more than a little chilling. It really has to be seen.

There was a moment in the film where McNamara said something along the lines of "Don't ever answer a reporter's question, you answer the question they should have asked." It was so much like Mr. Rumsfeld, I wondered if McNamara had been Rummy's mentor. I can't wait to see Donald Rumsfeld interviewed in 20-30 years giving straight answers about how we ended up where we are today.
