"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."

--Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, clarifying U.S. policy on the war on terror at a Pentagon briefing.

Krets, I think that Rumsfeld was dumbing it down for the population. You have to remember that conservatives aren't to keen about educating the masses.

Sir Humphrey Appleby!!! Anyone who has seen Yes, Minister would have to agree! Thanks for sharing that, krets.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Rumsfeld is enjoying his job a bit too much?

He left out the unknown knowns. Those are things that we don't know that we know. I couldn't tell you what they are.

What about the known unknown unknown knowns?

The things we know we don't know but by knowing we don't know we unknowingly know.
