Ray, You Da Man!
by
Larry C Johnson

Leave it to the former Presidential Daily Briefer for George Herbert Walker Bush to lay the wood on Rummy. Don Rumsfeld would deny that the Sun rises in the east even if he was strapped naked and spead eagle on a cross facing Mecca. Perhaps Rummy and Cheney could get together a do a road show. The working title? Denial Ain't a River in Egypt.

Today Ray McGovern, the man who used to give George Bush senior his daily intel update, spoke truth to power. Rumsfeld, to his credit, permitted Ray to speak rather than be carried out of the auditorium. In retrospect, Rummy probably regrets that decision.

For Rummy, lying is becoming a way of life. He had the chance to be a stand up guy; admit his past error, and repent. If he had done that the American people would be willing to cut him some slack. But Rummy chose the coward's way. He lied and denied. Unfortunately, his handlers have not briefed him on the existence of recordable video cameras. The American people have a short attention span if they have to read and remember, but if they see you lie to them on tape, look out. The don't like being played for suckers.

Rumsfeld Shouldn't be Fired, He Should be Indicted
by Matthew Rothschild

“Secretary Rumsfeld has publicly admitted that . . . he ordered an Iraqi national held in Camp Cropper, a high security detention center in Iraq, to be kept off the prison’s rolls and not presented to the International Committee of the Red Cross,” the report noted. The Geneva Conventions require countries to grant the Red Cross access to all detainees. “

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0418-24.htm

Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfeld has not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfeld.

The US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA.
