Human Rights Watch; INDICT rumsfeld.
“The question at this point is not whether Secretary Rumsfeld should resign, it’s whether he should be indicted,” says Joanne Mariner of Human Rights Watch, who directs its terrorism and counterterrorism program.

All of these acts “were specifically intended to cause severe physical pain and suffering and severe mental pain and suffering,” says Mariner of Human Rights Watch. “That’s the legal definition of torture.”

3. The military needs to refuse to follow his orders.
Rumsfailed has been exposed as a madman. Will good men and women do nothing?

4. The US military as a whole have detested rumsfeld from the get-go.
But the purge of real generals took care of the orders problem. Now the lower-level officers need to stand up and do what they swore an oath to do. And contrary to so many MFing stupid rightwingnuts, their oath is not to "obey orders & the CinC.
