Mr. Rumsfeld seems to be a real philosopher, since he won the "Foot in mouth" award for the following quote:
«Reports that say 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.»
