STILL LAUGHING
Published August 25, 2004
How cozy it all is: Rummy Boy's "leadership of the Pentagon has been weighed by a jury of his peers and found somewhat wanting," The Washington Post reported today. But the conclusion of "the blue-ribbon panel" — appointed by Rummy Boy to review the role of the Pentagon in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, and led by former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger — "does not appear to threaten Rumsfeld's position as defense secretary, especially because all four panel members emphatically rejected the idea of calling for his resignation." This is separate from the latest Army investigation, which failed to sanction Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the top commander in Iraq at the time of the abuses. Sy Hersh must still be laughing.
