Bush needs to fire Rumsfeld at once

For the sake of our long-term relations with all nations, especially in the Middle East, President Bush should immediately fire Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Even if he did not know of the torture of Iraqi prisoners, Rumsfeld is ultimately responsible for the Pentagon's unforgivable mistake in this matter.

The sooner Bush takes action and fires Rumsfeld, the better — because it will signal to reasonable people at home and abroad that our nation abhors what took place in the military jails in Iraq.

Who rules?

Specials interest groups and the vocal minority have this country pretty screwed up. I guess Sandpoint shouldn't be any different. Go NICAN.

Just another spill?

I'm sure the Rock Creek Mine engineers have the same safety confidence it their project as the Spokane Sewer Plant engineers had in theirs. A terrible spill.
