Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is being criticized for using a machine to auto-sign his letters of condolence to the families of U.S. soldiers killed in the Middle East. According to Reuters:
In all fairness to ol' Rummy, that many signatures at his age could possibly lead to a mild case of writer's cramp. We wouldn't want such a valuable leader facing that kind of risk, now would we?
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
