Subject: Re: Rumsfeld / Thoreau




<excerpt>lately i've had BBC world news on constantly, yesterday they
had some guy on who claimed Rumsfeld was a poet and gave a beautiful
rendering from one of his speeches as an example, can't recall the
words exactly now, but it gnawed at me a bit, then this morning it
dawned on me why, the best part of it was actually not of rumsfelds
origin but from thoreau quoting Confuscius:



<color><param>278A,1C2A,FFFF</param>Confucius said:


"To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do
not know, that is true knowledge." 



rumsfeld just drew that out several more meters, but he did it
excellentally!! cudos to he

</excerpt>

i'd really like to get the entire quote by rumsfeld so if anyone sees
it in the press somewhere and could copy paste and send it on, to the
list, or me personally, much appreciated. Here's a couple lines I
remember, may not be exact:


there are things we know we know we know


and there are things we know we don't know


and there are things we don't know we don't know we don't know"
