I thought I'd said this in a longwinded comment I just reread and deleted, but see I never got around to getting to the point..
My main reaction to the situation is that the immediate officers supervising those privates should be court martialed right away, as should anyone else (psy ops? what idiots..) who had a role in giving the orders that led to the torture behavior. Rumsfeld is mainly responsible for his own mistakes, I think, so if he has been shown to have done something wrong himself, in that case people could talk about removing him. There can be a new sec. of defense by voting those people out, if people want to see a change at the top.
