Rumsfeld, Powell Address Rift WASHINGTON (DPI) - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke openly Sunday on NBC's Meet The Press about their widely publicized policy rift. "The acrimony suggested by the media is false," said Powell. "But the policy differences are very real." Rumsfeld echoed those remarks, saying, "Secretary Powell is, I don't know ... you are good with words, Tim ... is there a word that goes beyond simply 'coward'? Is there a word that can somehow describe a man who sees evil but refuses to confront it? If there is a word for that, then that's the word I'm looking for." Powell acknowledged the tireless work of Rumsfeld, but also added words of caution. "Secretary Rumsfeld views the world as if he is in a Japanese animation series," said Powell. "I see in him the glee of a second-grader, with all of his Pokemon cards spread out before him, excitedly choosing which cards to play and what attacks to use. It's not anger I feel, and it's not exactly pity. It's just recognition, like when you notice a toddler has peed his pants. It happens. It's what toddlers do." (Reported by Jim Rosenberg)
