To undergird the great logic of the true American party, the Democrats, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld should step down.

Because he was indirectly in charge of the prisons, he is the one responsible. Even though he started aggressively to investigate allegations last fall and announced voluntarily many details in January of this year. Is this logic credible?

Democrats say so, such as the lobby group called the New York Times, Nancy Pelosi in California, Tom Harkin and many other Democrat senators and representatives.

Let’s apply the accountability to all other incidents if it is valid and see who has been given free passes. Janet Reno for Waco, Texas. Remember Rodney King? Nancy Pelosi was responsible and so was the Democratic governor. Remember the beatings from the police in Portland a year or two ago? Our governor and Rep. Allen should step down.

Does anyone see the extremely shallow argument the Democratic icons have and are using? Or am I one of the last honest people in the country?
