Rumsfeld doesn't care about dead soldiers

Donald Rumsfeld, the American defence secretary, has been using a machine to sign letters of condolence to the relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq, it emerged yesterday.

In a statement to the Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper, he conceded that he had not "individually" signed letters to the families of more than 1,300 war dead. He said it had been his wish to speed up the process. He added: "I have directed that in the future I sign each letter."

His statement follows a flood of complaints to the paper from bereaved families, accusing 72-year-old Mr Rumsfeld of high-handedness and disdain for their loss.

Just another example of how far removed from reality these guys are. They don't even think they need to sign letters of condolence.
