Thanks for posting this excellent article.
Great...local paper has another hit piece on Rumsfeld , this one from the knight-Ridder news Service...
When Bush won in 2000, the US army was still configured to fight the cold war. Bush and Rummy saw the need to modernize. This meant major changes. Generals and bureaucrats with political ties are pulling as many strings as possible to destroy Rummy and send a message to Bush that they want to be left alone.
It's a battle. I hope the White House stands strong against this unfair attacks against Rumsfeld and continues to transform the military into a 21st century fighting force.
