U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has won a British award for being the worst mangler of the English language. The Plain English Campaign has given this year's "Foot in Mouth Award" to Rumsfeld for statements he made about the hunt for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction:
"Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."
