How Much Longer for Rummy?

The Los Angeles Times reports that more and more retired military leaders are calling for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's removal from office.

Exerpt:
Displays of public dissension are especially controversial while troops are at war and morale is a concern. In recent months, however, a growing concern that the war's setbacks may have been predictable as well as avoidable has spilled into public view.

The officers said that challenges to civilian policy were not new — similar opposition flared during the Clinton administration, particularly around the issue of gays in the military. But many of the latest condemnations come from officers who served in the Iraq war, and the controversy has split the ranks over whether attacks by those officers so soon after retiring are appropriate.
If they don't speak up now, how many more service personnel will die for a lie?
