Today, when asked his opinion on whether Saddam Hussein played any role in the 9/11 attacks, Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld said: “I’ve not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that. We know he was giving $25,000 a family for anyone who would go out and kill innocent men, women and children. And we know of various other activities. But on that specific one, no, not to my knowledge.”

Stating the obvious shouldn’t win you a prize really. But in these days, a little honesty goes a long way.
