White House Thrown for Another Loss
Col Lawrence Wilkerson dropped another bombshell on the Bush administration on BBC Today. Wilkerson, a former aide to Colin Powell, suggested that Cheney and possibly Rumsfeld, could face war crimes charges. You can read the article here.
"What I'm saying is that, under the vice-president's protection, the secretary of defence [Donald Rumsfeld] moved out to do what they wanted in the first place, even though the president had made a decision that was clearly a compromise," Col Wilkerson said.
He said that he laid the blame on the issue of prisoner abuse and post-war planning for Iraq "pretty fairly and squarely" at Mr Cheney's feet.
"I look at the relationship between Mr Cheney and Mr Rumsfeld as being one that produced these two failures in particular, and I see that the president is not holding either of them accountable... so I have to lay some blame at his feet too," he went on.
