The issue of the Rummy/Geyer friendship was only a sidebar to my original post, as I think you must know.

I was far more interested in seeing people's reactions to what she said--that is, her assessment of how experience does, or does not, really matter.

I only mentioned the friendship thing to give the forum an idea that this woman was, at one time, a friend of Rumsfeld's, a relationship that might demonstrate that she was not, nor is now, any sort of ideological zealot, so folks might be able to judge where she was coming from--at least to some degree.
