Former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has given an interview to Al Jazeera, ending his feud with a channel he once described as “vicious”.

Questioned by Sir David Frost, Bush’s former right-hand man, who many see as the architect of the second Gulf War, struck a conciliatory tone in the interview.

“Its audience has grown and it can be an important means of communication in the world,” he said of the channel.

“I am delighted you are doing what you are doing.”

The interview is to be broadcast on Al Jazeera English on Friday night.

2. I want someone to send Rumsfeld a podium

Then, I want him to stand on it, naked, with electrodes tied to his fingers..

Then, I want someone to flood the floor with water and blindfold him

I want him to stand for hours.... he's admitted being used to stand for hours, anyway... no problem.

I want about 50 pounds of red meat to be tied around his waste and play Black Sabboth through Bose speakers, top volume

Then, I want about 10 mad dogs let loose ....

Yes.... :popcorn:

4. Rumsfeld loves him some bought and paid for media. I wonder if this means

that replacing the President of Al Jazeera did not really mean an end to U.S. involvement in Al Jazeera's news reporting.


"Most American cable companies do not offer access to al-Jazeera’s English-language service, an omission Khanfar attributed to “misinformed views about our content and journalism” in an article earlier this year. But U.S. diplomatic cables made public by WikiLeaks show that Khanfar often discussed al-Jazeera’s coverage with U.S. officials. His resignation last week prompted news reports suggesting that the revelations led to his departure, a charge the channel denied and that Khanfar said he found entertaining."
