- thiver, on 10/12/2007, -7/+29put them (Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheany, ...) all in Guantanamo and peace will prevail.
- beathan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22And a Republican requesting it, at that. Maybe there's hope after all.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Nice to see some oversight.
- buss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I think the obvious choice there is: then don't watch it.
- SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Throw the bastard in jail. He has done more than enough to deserve it.
- byronm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Lets see if this Republican follows through. I'm sure this is just one of those "softy" subpoenaes that go light on the people they call only so they can strike it down on the books as resolved so a hard line lefty or independant can't re-open the "case". They get to say "problem solved, nothing to see".
- puithove, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Well, that's good. It'll be better when it goes all the way up. These people need to held accountable for their actions just like anyone else.
- gummih, on 10/12/2007, -13/+20Meanwhile, Bush Sr. has been charged for international crimes while on a visit to Iceland.
http://digg.com/world_news/Charges_filed_against_Bush_Sr._in_Iceland_before_his_visit - gummih, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13I rejoice in your self-satisfaction - did you even read the article? I find the charges being filed against Bush relevant to this story and I think others would too, if you disagree, say so.
- mrbeezles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I would love to see Rumsfeld grilled like a hamburger in front of a congressional committee over this, but I have this nagging doubt that it's ever going to happen. Guantanamo is and has been a monstrous mistake and embarrassment for the United States and in the end probably makes us less safe by fulfilling the prophecies of Islamic fundamentalists who can point to it and say, "see I told you the Americans hate Muslims and treat them poorly, why don't you join the cause?"
- NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Chris Shays is running scared, and wants to distance himself from the other chickenhawks. Trust me, the "spin" will be that the Army and Rumsfeld is very concerned about the 'few loose cannons' causing these problems. The problem is not the loose cannons in Iraq- its the loose cannons in the White House.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Republicans suck
- Merkidemis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Indeed, about damn time.
- jool, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Don't kid yourself, it is going to be deemed an issue of national security and you will not hear a thing about it. If not he is going to be allowed to say that they do not normally condone torture without anyone pointing out that what he actually said is that the USA uses torture to get the answers that they want when they want them.
- omnithought, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Well, though I want to be happy about this, I've seen this administration literally get away with murder many times over. I've lost faith in our justice system. I hope this can restore some of it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Donald Rumsfeld was a student of economist Milton Friedman and what was once know as The Chicago Boys but has come to be known as The Chicago Thugs. Rumsfeld bet the future on plagues. Richard “Dick” Cheney, was an early student of Donald Rumsfeld during the American President Ford’s administration. As Secretary of Defense under American President George H.W. Bush, Cheney bet the future on war, and a private sector McMilitary. Today Cheney’s treasonous bet is known as Blackwater and Haliburton.
On September 10, 2001, CNN Evening News had a story titled “Defense Secretary Declares War on the Pentagon’s Bureaucracy.” That morning, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had described Pentagon employees as enemies of America, the Pentagon as a grave threat to America and declared war on the Pentagon, the institution he had taken an oath of allegiance to.
The Pentagon’s staff, highly educated, trained and experienced in America’s national defense, had devoted their entire careers to defending America. The Pentagon’s staff had successfully defended America, most notably from the Communist Soviet Union. They were now listening to the most extraordinary, and devastating to America, speech ever given by a U.S. Defense Secretary. A speech that violated that U.S. Defense Secretary oath of allegiance to his office and his country. Donald Rumsfeld had gone public with his treason and that he was a domestic terrorist with interests hostile to America and the U.S. government he was now paid to be an effective functioning part of.
A Country Hijacked, http://reno.broowaha.com/article.php?id=4170
Then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was not looking to save American’s their tax dollars. Nor was he looking to defend America. Nor was he looking to do the job he was getting paid by American taxpayers to do, that being to govern. He wasn’t even interested in his oath of allegiance. Donald Rumsfeld violated his oath to obey and uphold the U.S. Constitution, which clearly defines America’s national security as the duty of the U.S. government. Then treasonous U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, now an open domestic terrorist, ordered every U.S. Department of Defense and Pentagon department immediately slashed by 15 percent while demanding from the U.S. Congress an overall 11 percent Department of Defense budget increase. He then unconstitutionally and treasonously privatized America’s national defense.
One of the then Pentagon employees described their, and the rest of the audiences, reaction to then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s staff meeting speech that morning. “He was saying we were the enemy, that the enemy was us.”
Then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s unconstitutional and treasonous actions were lost in the shock and horror of America’s 9.11. 125 Pentagon employees were killed, 110 seriously injured. That’s 235 patriotic Americans that 24 hours earlier, their boss and now traitor to America, Donald Rumsfeld, had maliciously branded as enemies of America.
Traitors Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush and Richard Cheney had all declared and made it clear they believed that the job of government, that they were being paid by Americans’ tax dollars to do, was no longer to govern. The horrifying results were the evisceration of the American military, and the rise of a private police force. That rise of a private police force is funded with American taxpayer’s dollars. That unconstitutional private police force is the treasonous Blackwater, a for-profit multi-national corporation that believes it is not accountable to American taxpayers that fund them nor the American Congress nor any American laws, nor even other country’s laws. - philz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4@pabster
mine, was intentional, pun intended.
/not a pun
//neither a bun - kindaslow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They say "support our troops"
Then they hang the troops out to dry for following through with their intentions
They SUCK - pabster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Another intelligent Digg poster.
- dopi1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I hope something meaningful can come out of this subpoena. I don't want to see a charade coming from the House Committee that will make him testify about Abu Ghraib. The American people want to know more about the abuses of that prison and what Rumsfeld knew about it.
- pabster, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5I wonder if a stint at Gitmo would improve your spelling.
- philz, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2you mean "Put Bush in Cheyns (chains)", "Let the Cheynese have Bush"?
/ha ha, only serious. - keidalgrim, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Great. This probably means another round of listening to that eyebrow-laden, mushroom-headed Keith Olberman talk about Abu-HE-ROB for another 20 minutes on the Countdown tonight. Someone shoot me.
