1. Of all the charter members of the cabal....
I often think I hate him the most. I posted a couple of years ago that when I see him, I can just imagine the smell of the most putrid breath ever, mingled with the distinct and odious hint of brylcreme, bengay and mothballs.
He should be in the Hague.

2. Perfect place for the photo of him meeting with his buddy, Saddam
Perfect place for the photo of him meeting with his buddy, Saddam. He was a friend back then when we supplied him with weapons. Then we're shocked when he attacks Kuwait, especially when poppy's representative told him that we would consider it an "Arab" issue.

Much as I agree that he (hey, both Saddam and poppy fit this pronoun) are criminals, we gave him cart blanche to attack Kuwait and then we denounce him for it? Seems like a set up to me. Thanks Scummy, you served your masters but not your country well.

5. Rumsfeld has hired mercenaries, employed torturers and his orders and
policies have got a lot of American military members wounded or killed-John Kerry called for his resignation after Abu Ghraib--Donald Rumsfeld truly is one major war criminal of our War President's inner circle.:mad: :grr: :cry: :banghead: :argh:

7. Rumsfeld helped cover-up the CIA murder of Frank Olsen.
After discovering the NAZI nature behind CIA MK/ULTRA mind control experimentation, Dr. Olsen was given LSD and then thrown from a NYC hotel window in 1953. For years the government lied about what happened. In the 1970s, the truth started to come out. Then Rumsfeld -- abetted by Sneering Dick Cheney -- helped cover up the government's involvement in the murder. Great people, these "Party of Life" turds.



The Frank Olson Murder

Frank Olson was an American citizen, born in 1910 and murdered in New York City in 1953 by the CIA. Here's an outline of the case:

Fort Detrick is the U.S. Army's biowarfare facility, founded in 1943. Frank Olson was one of the first scientists to work there. From the final years of World War II through the Korean War and up to the present time scientists at Fort Detrick developed biological weapons including anthrax.

Following the end of World War II the U.S. conducted "Operation Paperclip", which scoured Germany for Nazi scientists who could be useful. It found some who had conducted experiments on prisoners in Dachau and other Nazi concentration camps, including one Kurt Blome. He was among the defendants in the Nuremberg War Trials, and would have been convicted and hanged but for American intervention. In return for agreeing to provide information to the Americans about his experiments in Dachau, and advice in the development of their own germ warfare program, an acquittal was arranged, and he escaped the gallows.

Frank Olson and Kurt Blome (who had become a protegé of the Americans) later met at Camp King in Germany in the early 1950s when Olson made several visits there to participate in "Operation Artichoke", in which the U.S. Army and the CIA experimented with the use of drugs (including LSD) in interrogation. Olson was present during brutal interrogations by the Americans of Soviet prisoners and suspected double agents, some of whom died under torture. Olson was deeply disturbed by what he had seen.

In the summer of 1953 Olson travelled again to Europe. In Berlin in August he witnessed several brutal interrogations involving torture and the use of drugs. On his return to the U.S. he confided to a friend and colleague at Fort Detrick, Norman Cournoyer, that he was disgusted with what the CIA was doing and was determined to leave.

In November 1953 Olson attended a meeting of a group of CIA agents at a country retreat where they discussed their work. Olson was suspected by the CIA of being a security risk. He was given a drink laced with LSD and when well under the influence of the drug he was subjected to interrogation using Artichoke techniques, probably a very unpleasant experience.
