Zimbardo & Stanford say, "No to Rumsfeld"...

Listen to or download "Zimbardo & Stanford say, "No to Rumsfeld," and here's why..."

Professor Phil Zimbardo and other Stanford profs and students challenge the appointment of former Sec Def Don Rumsfeld as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow to the Hoover Institute on Stanford campus.

"Don Rumsfedd is to the Iraq war disaster as FEMA's Michael Brown is to the Katrina disaster," says Dr. Zimbardo.
Rummy said, "These events occurred on my watch. As Sec Def I am accountable for them. I take full responsibility."

Since Rumsfeld is guilty of Command Complicity in these abuses and should be occupying the cell next to the lowly Army Reserve MP that he blamed, how do we, The People, call him to account?
