"A report released last week places a share of the responsibility for

mistreatment of inmates at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison on the shoulders of
U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Though the report didn't

him out by name or call for his resignation, it concludes that a
combination of too many prisoners and too few guards - as well as a
confusing chain of command - generated a climate ripe for trouble that

Pentagon's leadership should have anticipated. In the report, Rumsfeld's
own specially appointed panel, headed by former Defense Secretary James
Schlesinger, blames Rumsfeld's lean and haphazard deployment orders for
overtaxing troops in Iraq. It points out that when the commander in

of Abu Ghraib, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, said she needed more
forces, she was told to "'wear her stars' and reallocate personnel among
her over-stretched units." "

"Two reports emanating from the Defense Department last week constitute

powerful indictment of the failure by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
and his top aides to prevent the abuses that occurred at Abu Ghraib and
other military prisons in Iraq and elsewhere. In fact, both reports

that a failure of leadership helped to create the conditions that led to
this scandal.

It is not enough that the atrocities should be documented, blame fixed,
apologies offered and corrective action taken; those responsible for

happened at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere need to be held accountable for

actions or their failure to act, no matter their rank. Otherwise, the
damage inflicted by this affair - on its victims and on this country's
reputation and moral standing around the world - will not be fully
healed."

Kerry and his followers are attempting to urinate on America and her vets.

Judging by Kerry's latest poll numbers, America is kicking Kerry in his
Demmie balls while he tries to pull that off.....

Canadian newsgroup. Rumsfeld is irrelevant.

Why not post this rubbish in a
Mexican politics newsgroup?

I hear that Bush wants to grant the illegals residencey.
Vote for Bush if you want Mexican illegals to live and thrive in your midst.

Just
don't post irrelevant Yankee ***** in can.politics.

Thank you. Now screw off.

Which seems likely. High pressure for results and little effort to
safeguard ethics is Enron-like. Enron had a values statement (Geneva
regulations) but nobody took any notice because the lead from the top
was in another direction
