You guys are all correct — I messed up here, as a knowledgeable source pointed out to me this morning. For those wondering why I didn't update earlier, it was Yom Kippur yesterday and I'm just taking the time out now from the al-Qaeda conference I'm covering to update. Again, you're right, I'm wrong, and my apologies to you and to Rumsfeld. — Spencer

I'm no fan of Mr. McNamara, but this is undue bedevilment.

Spencer – A “signal of displeasure” or a “signal of dominance”? Are you the Dog Whisperer? How about the fact that Rumsfeld recently just had surgery on his right shoulder?

“His arm in a blue sling (the result of elective arm surgery, say aides), former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld returned to the Pentagon today to help dedicate the nation's first major 9/11 memorial and deliver his first speech since leaving the secretary's job two years ago.”

Might that explain why he can't shake his hand, instead of some half-baked theory of “awkwardness”?
