Yesterday, we learned that Donald Rumsfeld would be stepping down as Defense Secretary.But, even though he will be out of the picture, we must not let him off the hook. He must be held accountable for any role he played in authorizing the abuse and torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, etc.
A handful of low-level soldiers are in jail for carrying out the abuse, as they should be. But the official approval of the interrogation techniques came from much higher up the chain of command.
The buck doesn't stop at Lynndie England.
