Even though I wouldn't mind seeing Rumsfeld gone myself, I can't ignore the fact that all this website has really done is point out flaws and then say, "because of all these flaws the video is faked." That's not a very strong way to make an argument. There is no deductive logic which moves from premises to conclusion, it's just throwing a bunch of stuff out there and saying, "see, we're right because of all this stuff."
You must admit, they make many strong points about it, the author must've been completely convinced it was fake, therefore letting people know how he feels.
