QUOTE Many people assume that Rumsfeld was lying ... knew that there were no W.M.D. in Iraq. But I believe that he was able to convince himself that he was telling the truth. Or ... lacked the ability to discriminate between truth and fantasy. That over the years he had developed a gobbledygook philosophy that — seemingly paying lip service to empiricism — devalued evidence and made a mockery of logic. Alas, if you believe that you are 100 percent right, then your beliefs are like a hard, impenetrable, protective shell, like the carapace of a turtle.
