Default Rumsfield Resigns
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061108/...msfeld_resigns
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stepped down as defense secretary on Wednesday, one day after midterm elections in which opposition to the war in
Iraq contributed to heavy Republican losses.
President Bush said he would nominate Robert Gates, a former
CIA director, to replace Rumsfeld at the
Pentagon.
Asked whether his announcement signaled a new direction in the war that has claimed the lives of more than 2,800 U.S. troops, Bush said, "Well, there's certainly going to be new leadership at the Pentagon."

Last week, as he campaigned to save the Republican majority, Bush declared that Rumsfeld would remain at the Pentagon through the end of his term.

================

Good riddens! Now can he be prosecuted for war crimes??

Yup...he can be prosecuted. But as always, the US govt will back him up as if he's still in office. If he goes down, the whole Bush administration goes down with him.

Similar charges were made earlier, but it was kinda lost in the deep space. I hope it doesn't happen this time. All I'm interested in is how defensive the US govt will get if Rumsfeld is charged.
