The Unknown Known

  • Post category:.

I expected more from this new documentary/interview (by Errol Morris) on/of Donald Rumsfeld.  The discussion covered Rumsfeld’s career in government from the ‘60s until his last days in office under Bush.  My main beef is that Morris let his subject off the hook too easily — that is, he didn’t challenge, or follow-up on, many self-serving answers provided by Rumsfeld.  That said, it’s a worthy interview overall — and you will likely learn something about politics and the challenges of statecraft.
