Put It In Your Pantry with Your Cupcakes

Matthew Rothschild: writes a scathing editorial against C. Rice.
"Rice partially retracted her embarrassing statement of May 2002 when she had said, "I don't think anyone could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another and slam it into the Pentagon. That they would try to use an airplane as a missile? A hijacked airplane as a missile?""
"In her testimony, she said, 'I probably should have said, 'I could have not imagined.""
------
What is the difference between "imagined" and "predicted"? If someone predicts something, they are most likely imagining something. How do we allow someone who can be Provost of Stanford into the job of National Security Advisor when she is clearly semi-doltish.
