Rummy didn't personally commit the kinds of atrocities that these soldiers did, nor did he personally do anything contrary to the laws of warfare or violate the Geneva Convention. If he did, he is unfit to hold public office.


Hmmmm... wait a minute...


"...I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions..."
- John F. Kerry, "Meet the Press", 1971
