Actually, I think they'd be satisfied with RUMSFELD'S head on a pike... FW I want Rumsfeld /and/ Cheney's. For starters. Did anyone else notice that "military" and "Army" and all sorts of people were mentioned over and over and over. Now, I missed the first 3 or 4 minutes of Rumsfeld's comments so maybe he said "and contractors". Did he? If not, why not? Contractors have been accused just as well as GI's. Why don't we start with the resignation - forced resignation, if necessary - of any high-level executives in the United States government who - present or past - had any close associations with the main contractor involved in the allegations being made. That is, of course, Halliburton. The stench of the apparent corruption made me sick (not a joke - I felt like throwing up). And I - like many, many others saw this coming; it was obvious, boys and girls. Remember when the President and Commander-in-Chief start making sweeping statements about who was - and, more importantly, was NOT - subject to the Geneva Convention as PW's (Prisoners of War)? It's going to be "interesting" to see if charges of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" are going to be brought. And, if so, against whom. Gray Shockley -------------------------------------------------------- 33T4M, Military Intelligence, ELINT United States Army (retired) What surprised me the most was the lack of the inquisitors to register any sustainable fault with the corrective actions taken so far. It would appear the only sustainable beef the committe had was that they were not informed in a timely manner. The corrective actions already taken and under way seem to be more than adequate and the committee members seemed a bit frustrated that there was nothing they could complain about - other than they weren't in the loop. Almost as if they were ****ed that they didn't have the opportunity to sternly and with full righteous indignation towards the Generals, order them to do what they were already doing. One got the impression they felt cheated out of a few satisfying "Harrumphs!" -=jd=- My overall response was: "Uh, guys; these people aren't professionals". Bush and crew really appear to need adult leadership very, very badly. I think I was residing in a lovely city in the Central Highlands the last time I heard this musical question: "Would you buy a used war from this man". That time it was President Nixon. But this time it was Bush's war from the start, and all gleaming new and shiny and running well one short year ago.
