Be warned. Rumsfeld and subordinates’ jobs are not too much to sacrifice to save our soldiers and civilian workers from much worse than firing. Our job is to support the troops, not higher-ups safe from Arab reprisals. Amazing. Are you so naive as to believe the firing of those people will solve the problem of the terrorists attacking , burning, murdering, desecrating and hanging the civilians and soldiers in Iraq? That's what Bill Clinton thought. Appease them and they'll go away. Such an action will embolden them even more. They'll laugh all the way to the mosque, at the fools we are. There would be only two winners if that occurred. The Islamic terrorists and the Democratic party. KM KM

The willed suspension of the Genevan protocols by senior officials in the American command has now placed every soldier and civilian working with the occupation at terrible risk of being used and abused in a game of vengeance. LOL! This "risk"...has in fact been a reality since long before any action by Bush or Rumsfeld...just ask those American service women who were "digitally raped" in '91 or the male pilots who had the snot beaten out of them.... Grow up and get serious. We should not tolerate the type of abuse the pictures portray if they are accrate portrayals...so too we should remember that those who did wrong will be punished.....that's the difference.... J.

The firing of Rumsfeld and his subordinates would be largely symbolic. The President needs to weigh the benefits of that symbolism against the precedent it would set and the damage it would cause to the overall mission. These issues are not addressed in your post.

You see, you and I disagree on the basic premise of the Terrorists. You seem to feel they are capable of REASON, whereas I feel they are nothing better then WILD DOGS that must be tracked down and killed as quickly and of course as humanely as possible. The slit the throat of that journalist who was if anything their friend, they've drawn and quartered our people and you think FOR ONE MINUTE they would be NICE if we pampered them in prison. I am opposed to the treatment SOLELY because its not the AMERICAN WAY and we do have an image to protect, but the fact we had to do some pretty disgusting things to get needed information to save lives of not only our own troops but innocent women and children bothers me NOT ONE BIT. jdn
