WTF Is It Now?!?

WWJD?
Why Rummy must resign

It is time now for Mr. Rumsfeld to go, and not only because he bears personal responsibility for the scandal of Abu Ghraib. That would certainly have been enough. The United States has been humiliated to a point where government officials could not release this year's international human rights report this week for fear of being scoffed at by the rest of the world. The reputation of its brave soldiers has been tarred, and the job of its diplomats made immeasurably harder because members of the American military tortured and humiliated Arab prisoners in ways guaranteed to inflame Muslim hearts everywhere.

- from an editorial in the NY Times.

'In newspaper editorials and interviews from Tokyo to Berlin and London, the argument emerged that the onus was now firmly on the United States to convince friend and foe alike that it had not resorted to practices once associated with the government of Saddam Hussein.'

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the US Muslim civil rights group, has joined the voices calling for Rumsfeld's resignation.

WH toady Thomas Friedman says he should be fired, and even spongy Cerberus Karl Rove "believes that it will take a generation for the United States to live this scandal down in the Arab world."
