I think it's strange that people are calling for Rumsfeld to resign
before the direct evidence of a policy breakdown has been presented. 

He went in front of Congress and the people and said that he accepted responsibility. What does this mean -- saying "I'm sorry" is the end of the matter? If that were the case, why not release every murderer, rapist, mugger, and other lawbreaker who goes to court and says "I'm sorry" ? It seems to me that accepting responsibility runs a bit deeper than this. If he admits his responsibility, what consequences should befall? Resignation at the very least. Maybe more. Maybe surrender to the Court at the Hague for a trial for crimes against humanity. When Nixon finally owned-up, he resigned the presidency. Surely, Rumsfeld is more principled than Nixon (how could anybody possibly be less so).

 

And, if he doesn't think he's responsible, he should say so and be prepared to explain. Instead of lying about it and thinking the problem will go away.
