From 2001 to 2006, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld wrote dozens of short memos to (and about) National Security Advisor and later Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. They're succinct, and, somehow, hysterically disdainful. In fact, they might be the most important, passive-aggressive notes in recent American history, and now, they've gone public.
To celebrate the masterwork that is Rumsfeld's just-released memoir Known and Unknown, we examine an overlooked corner of his treasure-trove of government: the man's profound gift for the passive-aggressive note aimed at Rice, his most common target of ire. We sorted through them, and pulled out the best. If you're going to be that guy — the one who writes pathologically passive-aggressive notes — this is how you do it. And remember: These are all real. Or in Rummy's words: "Thanks."
