Via my dog wants to be on the radio, [1] Defense Sec Rumsfeld Requests More
DefCon Levels [2] 

Now that things have returned to normal [3] (network wise), I figured it was
time for a bit of levity. 

Besides, you can tell that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld isn't a computer guy—
1,024 is is much better than 1,027. And I suspect it would have been Ashcroft
to ask for more DefCon levels, not Rumsfeld.
