I must admit, it`s a bit rich Rumsfeld describing the Iranians as acting in an "unhelpful" manor. During the Iran-Iraq war, I seem to remember the Americans provided satelite photos and information to the Iraqs on Iran`s defences. This made the targeting of Iranian millitary assets by Iraqi artillery (very possibly involving chemical weapons) very effective; a fact that the Iranians have never forgot. Talk about being unhelpful.
