Quotation of the Day for December 3, 2003
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
- Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense in a press briefing. The statement made Rumsfeld the 2003 winner of The Foot in Mouth award given out by The Plain English Campaign. [http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/footinmouth.html]
