- SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday accused critics of the Bush administration's Iraq and counterterrorism policies of trying to appease "a new type of fascism."
In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld portrayed the administration's critics as suffering from "moral or intellectual confusion" about what threatens the nation's security and accused them of lacking the courage to fight back.

Hey, look:
Hmm...so now we're confused. Which is it? "Donald Rumsfeld: Courageous Moral Visionary" or, "Donald Rumsfeld: Expedient, Dissembling Dinkweed"?
Let's check Google:
- Definitions of "expedient" on the Web:
1. serving to promote your interest; "was merciful only when mercy was expedient";
2. a means to an end; not necessarily a principled or ethical one;
3. appropriate to a purpose; practical; "in the circumstances it was expedient to express loyalty".
