Wanna know why Rumsfeld is taking so much heat right now?

Outside of the fact that he is part of the leadership, as secretary of defense, Rumsfeld would not answer some of the most simple questions regarding the Abuse of Prisoners. want some examples? how about some easy ones...

* Who was in charge of the Abu Ghraib interrogations? This was asked by GOP Senator John McCain. Rumsfeld wouldn't give an answer saying that there was an investigation underway. here's the exchange:

"No, Secretary Rumsfeld, in all due respect, you've got to answer this question, and it could be satisfied with a phone call," McCain said. "This is a pretty simple, straightforward question. Who was in charge of the interrogations?"

One has to wonder just what Rumsfeld thought he'd be DOING there in the hearing if he did not have such basic, knowable information as this.

* When did you learn about the Prisoner abuse,and when did he tell the President?
