WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld did not personally sign his name on letters of condolence to families of troops killed in Iraq but instead had it done by a machine, an action lawmakers said on Sunday showed insensitivity and was inappropriate for leadership during war.

Rumsfeld acknowledged that he had not signed the letters to family members of more than 1,000 U.S. troops killed in action and in a statement said he would now sign them in his own hand. “This issue of the secretary of Defense not personally signing the letters is just astounding to me and it does reflect how out of touch they are and how dismissive they are,” Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“I have no confidence in Rumsfeld,” Hagel added

AK--That is right. What a bum that he doesn't have the time to personally sign about one letter a day? Pathetic.

He may have expected the death toll to be very high, and was not prepared to set aside so much time for signing letters all the time. Wallah o Aalim.

u may have hit something which even u don't know

maybe.. just maybe the actual death toll his high enough for him to have made that decision; you know the US army doesn't count wounded who die later in the death toll reported.

The 'non-US' personnel fighting in the hope of Green cards or citizenship don't count either.
