Rumsfeld to Testify About Iraqi Prisoner Abuse
It's not just Bush that is mad at Rumsfeld. So is Congress. And Rumsfeld will testify on Friday before "a hornet's nest of angry lawmakers."
Republican and Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday they were angry at lax oversight at the prison, a failure of the Pentagon to be more aggressive in dealing with the charges and that fact that the issue was not brought to their attention before the damning pictures were shown on TV.
"I think we ought to raze that prison. I think we ought to take it down. I think it has become a symbol of Saddam Hussein but also of U.S. mistakes and a very deplorable situation," said U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Reminds us of We Can Be Together from Volunteers by the Jefferson Airplane: ("Up against the wall motherf**er, tear down the walls."
