Salazar listed what he views as Rumsfeld’s specifics acts of malfeasance:
- Estimating in 2003 that the war would cost less that $50 billion when it is anticipated to exceed $500 billion.
- Stating at the beginning of the war that the conflict would last six months or less when it has lasted more than three years.
