Rumsfeld seized the wheel of power — and steered us terribly into war
On a personal level, Rumsfeld was a man of great energy, capable of magnetic charm and apparently quite devoted to his family, starting with his wife of more than 60 years, Joyce. And he will merit a footnote, at least, in Washington’s bureaucratic history as the author of a matchless example of what is known as the “CYA memo,” a genre of writing designed to protect the author’s personal posterior should events turn out badly for the people involved.
