To be fair, Jim Lehrer put that question to Rummie on News Hour, 3-25. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/textonly/focus1.html

Rumsfeld smothered it in reply.

JIM LEHRER: What do you say to the -- the woman in our clip also from ABC this morning of a survivor of somebody killed in the 9/11 attacks that said -- the reason Clarke was so refreshing and so different is up until then everybody who had gone on, I guess she's including you, talked about, no, it wasn't our fault.

DONALD RUMSFELD: No, people didn't go up and say it wasn't our fault, really. People went up there with feeling -- heartbreak for the people that were killed and heartbreak for their loved ones, and agonizing over what in the world else might have been done retrospectively and what ought to be being done today.

JIM LEHRER: I'm just telling you what she said.
