I don't like Donald Rumsfeld, I think he was a snake, and showed signs of psychopathy for pushing aspartame through, for profit, regardless of its harms. Among other travesties. But I love the truth of that quote, its stark reality guaranteed it would be attacked, and it was.

I think it just speaks an obvious truth, no need to read between any lines. It does have many serious implications you could write a book about. But, the sentence itself is pure unvarnished reality. I'm a big fan of that.
