Vid: Errol Morris on Donald Rumsfeld, The Unknown Known, and Evidence-Based Journalism

Donald Rumsefeld’s “war crime,” says Oscar-winning filmmaker
Errol Morris, is “the gobbledygook, the blizzard of words, the
misdirections, the evasions…and ultimately at the heart of it
all…the disregard and devaluation of evidence.”

The former secretary of defense’s complicated relationship with
the truth is the subject of Morris’ new documentary, The Unknown
Known
which opens in theaters nationwide on Friday,
April 4. The Unknown Known is an extended conversation
with Rumsfeld, tracing his long career through the Nixon, Ford,
Reagan, and Bush administrations, and focusing on his role in
leading U.S. military forces into Iraq to fight a bloody and
senseless war.
