This will probably be old news by tomorrow:

 

"The roots of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal lie not in the criminal inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision, approved last year by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to expand a highly secret operation, which had been focussed on the hunt for Al Qaeda, to the interrogation of prisoners in Iraq. Rumsfeld’s decision embittered the American intelligence community, damaged the effectiveness of élite combat units, and hurt America’s prospects in the war on terror. ..."

read the whole article (New Yorker).

 

Rumsfeld may be taking the big dive, or may be on his way to national (cult) hero status a la Ollie North. One of the two.

You actually BELIEVE that drivel? That and the Black Hawk helicopter thing? That's straight from the liberal press. Those guys hate freedom.

I always thought

if you want to change the world

then you have to start with yourself

 

so if the heads of state

want to end terrorism

they should go ahead and kill themselves!
