Rumsfeld's job 'on the line' By Jonathan Marcus BBC defence correspondent Donald Rumsfeld is one of this administration's great survivors. But now, in the wake of the evidence of the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners, his job could be on the line. Reports indicate he has already been privately admonished by President George Bush. Is Mr Rumsfeld a plus or a liability to the Bush administration? His apparent failure to relay the gravity of the charges of abuse together with the Pentagon's failure to get a grip on the detention system once such mistreatment was made clear has caused President Bush fundamental embarrassment. It has only aggravated the mistrust with which the US Army is viewed in Iraq and heightened suspicion about the values that America is claiming to be bringing to the country. It worsens Washington's wider standing in the Arab world. And it probably does little to recommend the US project in Iraq to America's friends and allies around the world. 'On the skids' The sometimes ebullient, sometimes cantankerous Donald Rumsfeld stands at the epicentre of the problem. BBC
