adventures into right-wing editorial pages

it turns out, rumsfeld and president are not ultimately responsible for the abuses that occurred at abu ghraib prison. the buck doesn't stop there after all. instead the obvious culprits are women, feminists, muslims and the academic left. (link via atrios)

at nuremberg we learned that a commander is responsible for the actions of his subordinates. so if we were to make a chart of the u.s. military command structure, how would it go? rumsfeld is under the command of bush, that much is clear. are the feminists are directly in command of bush? or is it the muslims or academic left, with feminists on top of them? and who is at the very tip of the chart? my wife is an academic and liberal, plus she's a feminist, can she fire the president? does she have to convert to islam to be sure? (i think my arabic professor is all three already, maybe she can do it). this president needs to be fired, he's clearly not following the orders of his superiors.
