Rumsfeld's reply

George Stephanopoulos, the host of ABC's "This Week," found out yesterday just how feisty Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld can be.

"If you had actionable intelligence that Osama bin Laden was in Iran, do you think the United States has the right just to go in and get him without asking for permission?" Mr. Stephanopoulos asked.

Mr. Rumsfeld replied, "Obviously, you wouldn't get permission."

"That's my point," Mr. Stephanopoulos said.

"And those are questions for the president of the United States," Mr. Rumsfeld continued.
