The Existential Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld

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, during a Pentagon press briefing.

In his new book, Pieces of Intelligence: the Existential Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld, author Hart Seely has compiled a series of unwitting poems from this surprisingly lyrical administration official. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a brief review with some more examples. Perhaps we can expect a forthcoming volume, "The Te of W"?
