Will Rumsfeld do the right thing?
They call it “the Friday night news dump.” That refers to the fact that news that comes out just at the beginning of the weekend doesn’t get much play in the press.
Well, at about 7:15 pm ET today the Pentagon released its report regarding abuses at Guantanamo — you know, the one Newsweek got into so much trouble about. It was worse than “flushing the Koran down the toilet.” What they admitted happened, among other desecrations, was that human urine was cast upon the Koran (they didn’t say whether it was a direct piss or from a container), and incidentally upon the owner of same.
Friday night is not going to protect us in this case.
Even the cable newscasters are talking about this going all the way to Rumsfeld. The only way our administration can avert a serious conflagration throughout the middle east, and get any modicum of honor back, is to dump Rumsfeld. NOW.
There’s no more time.
