From The Economist to the NY Times, Salon examines the growing calls for Rumsfeld to resign as a result of Abu Ghraib. When even Karl Rove is forced to admit the damage done by these horrifying pics, you know it’ll be rough for Rummy in the weeks ahead, even with Dubya’s vote of confidence. Well, I’m all for getting rid of Rumsfeld, but I don’t think he should be the only fall guy for this Iraq fiasco…the decision may have began with Cheney, Wolfowitz, & co., but it ended with Dubya. For Abu Ghraib as with so much else, they all gotta go.

kevin, i think this is a real turning point. i just don’t see what we can accomplish over there after this.
hey, btw, a lawyer who’s been coordinating the guantanamo bay cases is doing a clinic class at stanford next fall where we can help out on the litigation. i’m pretty psyched about it, i hope i get in.
