Director Morris defends his ‘smiling Rumsfeld’ film

VENICE, Sept 5: American filmmaker Errol Morris defended ‘The Unknown Known’ yesterday from criticism he failed to ask tough questions in his documentary profile of former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who oversaw the Iraq War. Rumsfeld, famous for his statement that ‘stuff happens’ in response to the looting of Baghdad after the American-led invasion, is shown smiling almost obsessively throughout the film which had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
