Another Rumsfeld Lie: "I'm Not Involved in Intelligence"

OK, an argument can be made that anyone involved in the Bushie Administration is not exactly involved with intelligence ::snark:: but let me call your attention to one of the comments tendered by Department of Defense Dark Lord Secretary Donald Rumsfeld last week, something to the effect of: "Don't ask me about intelligence gathering because I'm not involved with Intelligence."

This is one huge lie. Despite all the organizations we have that separately conduct intelligence operations, the Defense Department conducts more intelligence gathering and analysis and spends more money on such than all the other groups combined. Rumsfeld purposely increased the DoD's share of intelligence gathering, using - as it is always used as an excuse for nefarious nut stuff - 9/11 as his excuse for needing to do so.
