    Known Unknowns [Framework of the Day]

    As some of you may know I’ve been collecting mental models and working on a book for a little while now (it’s been going pretty slow since my daughter was born in January). This is more notes than chapter, but I still thought it was worth sharing. If you like this I’m happy to do more in the future (I wrote about the pace layers framework in my last post).

    Mr. Rumsfeld declined to apologize &#x; instead, he laughed along with the audience &#x; and the conversation quickly turned to the war in Iraq.

    Mr. Stewart pressed Mr. Rumsfeld on the lead-up to the invasion, questioning why the Bush administration presented a face of certainty about intelligence that proved to be false.

    Would it be fair to consider, Mr. Stewart said slowly, that in the effort that it took to sell us this, that we lost our &#x;&#x;

    Mr. Rumsfeld stopped him. The word &#x
