Rumsfeld regarding Powell: "We're not close. Never were."

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2007/09/does_rumsfeld_miss_bush_um_no.html

<snip>

The parts of the article that will make the news involve his relationship with President Bush. Do you miss him? "Um, no." Still like him? "I do." Are you still close to Colin Powell? "No! We're not close. Never were." And the vice president? "I still see Cheney."

He believes Bush will be vindicated someday, much as Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan became, over time, appreciated for their strengths and national security accomplishments. He's not got much time for the "eastern media" that deals in political caricatures day in and day out.

He says he doesn't read newspapers very much, but he carries an armload onto the plane.
