RUMMYLEAKS: "With My Book I Will Release 100s Of Supporting Docs On A Website"
Rumsfeld: Government documents in new memoir, but not like WikiLeaks
From Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent
December 12, 2010 8:08 p.m. ES

Washington (CNN) -- One of the best known -- and most controversial -- public figures of recent years, who said he never used e-mail, is now a devotee of social media, and is using it as a means of re-emerging in public after several years of low-profile life.

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whose memoir "Known and Unknown" is about to be published, is using both Twitter and Facebook, to publicize the upcoming book and to discuss current events.

But it's a recent tweet that may be getting the most attention. Using Twitter-friendly abbreviations, Rumsfeld said on his account, "With my book I will release 100s of supporting docs on a website--many previously classified, but unlike #Wikileaks, all cleared by USG."

So far, there is no further information posted on exactly what documents the U.S. government has cleared for Rumsfeld's use.

2. Is that post saying it was not Rummy saying that?
Odd that someone that never used email, would know twitter lingo.
