Rumsfeld Must Go (for starters..)

"If it goes all the way to Rumsfeld, then he should resign," said Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE). Sen.

Tom Harkin (D-IA) concurred: "I believe it's time to fire the Secretary of Defense. It's time for Rumsfeld to go. He's the Captain. He's the man in charge. He can't escape responsibility. I'm not going to sit here as a Senator and watch the blame placed on low-ranking soldiers. The higher-ups have more responsibility."

The Financial Times also calls for Rumsfeld to step down, saying Rumsfeld "failed to plan for the post-war period, to provide sufficient troops for peacekeeping or to ensure they were properly trained. Only his departure will convince public opinion round the world that Mr. Bush is serious when he says Abu Ghraib is not the true face of America."
