So, no pictures

Apparently, Donald Rumsfeld has now forbidden the use of cameras in the US run zones in Iraq.

Did he just ever so slightly consider what signal this sends to the rest of the world? "Whether or not we make screw-ups or downright insane things is not the issue just now - let us make sure that no one can prove it!"

Doesn't this guy care one bit about what the rest of the world think of his country? "Don't give a s**t - as long as we know we're right" ??

Right he is - somewhere to the right of Djenghis Khan, if you ask me...

Maybe "somebody" over there would do well in reading this little grook by Danish poet Piet Hein:

The noble art of Losing Face
may one day save the Human Race
and turn into eternal merit
what weaker minds would call disgrace.
