4. the freetranslation.com version of the story
E Friday morning, at the time of a discreet visit to Paris, the American former secretary to the defense was welcomed by pacifist activists. "It arrived on foot, with few protection, one was surprised", relates to the Post Xavier Renou, the Spokesperson of a collective one of pacifists. "One encircled it to around fifteen persons, while screaming 'criminal of war' and while shaking bones in plastic. But very quickly, the body guards did it to return in the building."

"One wanted to put back him the price Nobel of the war", symbolized by the remains s artificial, adds the campaigning antinuclear, that awaited with its codisciples that Donald Rumsfeld goes out again building. In vain.

This is surprising but this is well true: the strong former man of George W. Bush came to Paris, this morning around 9 o'clock, to participate in a lecture to the circle interallié, to some steps of the Elysée to Paris. To priori, a simple space of discussion on international relations.

"Rumsfeld comes in France in catimini and that would astonish us although that be only to do an exposition to two dozens of persons, suspects Xavier Renou, the Spokesperson of the collective one" Not to the missile M51". "We think that it also will meet more important persons, probably to talk about the Iran or Iraq."

What do reproach these pacifists to Donald Rumsfeld? "To have rehabilitated the nuclear weapon as arms battlefield, while developing the" mini-nukes"", these miniature atomic bombs that are evoked in the items on a possible American attack of the United States against the Iran, for example.

5. Rummy graduated from Princeton, not Yale.
Skull 'n' Bones is a Yalie thing only.

My guess is that the bones represented dead Iraqis, not a bunch of idiots in New Haven.

6. Most definitely, the bones represented those who died for this administration's lies.
