Poll question: Should Rumsfeld Go To Prison?
Sivits testifies against fellow soldiers for lesser sentence and gets a year in prison. The other soldiers will get at least that much. They were following orders from Rumsfeld. Should he go to prison? Donald Rumsfeld's secret torture program for Abu Ghraib, apparently approved across the board by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and perhaps even her boss, President George W. Bush. Should he go to prison? Will he see prison time?

1. prison only if he his sentence is not more severe
war crimes are nasty things and rarely receive lenient treatment.

3. Prison for awhile, on his way to Hell.....
Where he and the war-chimp can take turns sucking Satan's cock.

4. He should go and be some bad man's girlfriend.
But like Rush and Ollie North, he will never see the inside of a jail cell.

6. Oh, if ONLY America worked that way!!!!
But it doesn't. The poor people are fighting the rich man's war. The poor people are dying in the rich man's war. The poor people are taking the fall in the rich man's war. The poor people will go to prison in the rich man's war.

Great op-ed in today's Boston Globe

7. 'Other'
He should be sentenced for 2 periods of 6 months, making a full years' worth of jail time. The first period would be inside al-Fallujah's sports stadium, now known as al-Fallujah Martyrs' Cemetary, and the second chained to a streetlight in the 1920 Revolution Square in Najaf.

9. Other
Rumsfeld should be air-dropped into Fallujah wrapped in a huge yellow bow with a card reading "a gift from the American people".

12. Smile... You know Oddman- that is sincerely my fondest wish
Bush, Rumsfeld and that entire Satanic cabal, gift-wrapped and sent as a gift, a gesture of good-will, to the people they wronged in our name.

The PS on the card could read "Go for it!". :)

11. Rumsfeld Should Be Tried, Convicted, and Beheaded For War Crimes
Edited on Wed May-19-04 09:56 PM by mhr
Pretty fitting when you think about it!

I wonder if the Freepers would watch since one of there heroes would expire.

On second thought he would become a martyr for the Freeper cause.

Evil begetting evil!

14. Give him to some of the families with maimed or dead children
maybe they can soften him up.

How do these men sleep nights?

16. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Stephen A. Cambone,
his undersecretary of intelligence, created what amounted to a secret army whose task, as one insider put it, is to "Grab whom you must. Do what you want."

So the soldiers were under orders. What happens to a soldier who disobeys orders?
