Why Blame Rumsfeld?

The world's attention is now on the poor Defence Secretary, who already have more than enough to handle coordinating the coalition forces.

Why blame him for the prisoner's abuse? He is the Defence Secretary, not the Platoon Commanders of the sadists. He's not the CO, he's not the S1. He's responsible to restore peace and order to the warring state, not to mother over his General's OC's PC's soldiers. So what if he's ultimately responsible?

If we draw an analogy, all Police Chief Commissioner's are to be hung for every crime that happen, all head of states are to be hung for any economic downturn. Well, they are ultimately responsible for theses problem, aren't they?

My stand: Leave poor Rumsfield alone. Hang those sadistic soldiers.
