Rumsfeld to the press: Just back off.

You can't say it much better than Billmon did here:

You ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax, understand that it’s complicated, it’s difficult. Honorable people are working on these things together. There isn’t any daylight between them.

Donald Rumsfeld
Press Conference
October 26, 2006

The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
