« A Bigger Bang | Main | Rumsfeld: Iranian weapons found in Iraq »

August 10, 2005

Dear Ms. Rice and Mr. Rumsfeld --

In light of this and related news reports:

Congressman: U.S. intel knew 9/11 plotters

The Sept. 11 commission will investigate a claim that U.S. defense intelligence officials identified ringleader Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers as a likely part of an al-Qaeda cell more than a year before the hijackings but didn't forward the information to law enforcement.

And in particular this:

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said he was unaware of the intelligence until the latest reports surfaced.

It's obvious you either can't or won't do your jobs. We demand your resignation letters by close of business today.

To Mr. Rumsfeld --

Don't take it personal. You'll find something else to do. Write a book. Make speeches. Who knows? The Supreme Court may need another Medal of Freedom winner any day now.

To Ms. Rice --

You weren't mentioned anywhere in this story. This happened during your tenure as National Security Advisor. Accountability? Hell yes, that applies to you! Your past behavior shows you won't give a straight answer to anything, even if the question is "How are you today?"

Anyway, pack up your shit, and get out, both of you. NOW.

Love,

The American People
