I GOT AN INTERESTING PRESS RELEASE TODAY
I'm working on contacting the folks below...perhaps I could use your help in finding out when they might issue a new press release calling upon the Islamic extremists and terrorist organizations to apologize and step down from their posts...for giving the Islamic faith such a bad reputation around the world:
U.S. Muslims call for Rumsfeld's Resignation
--CAIR says defense secretary should put nation's interests first--
A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to "put America's interests first" by resigning over his handling of the growing prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.
That request by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) came following further revelations of mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners held by American military personnel.
In its statement, CAIR said:
"As Secretary of Defense, Mr. Rumsfeld bears ultimate responsibility for the brutal and humiliating actions of American troops and for the poor handling of the scandal by the military establishment. He must also take responsibility for fostering an atmosphere in which the traditional rules of war and norms of international law are treated as excess baggage.
"With responsibility comes accountability. Secretary Rumsfeld and his entire management team must put America's interests first by resigning their posts. If he and his top advisors do not resign, they should be removed by President Bush. No other action could possibly help mitigate the devastating impact this scandal has had on our nation's image worldwide."
Just so you know...I put calls into the following. I'm expecting an explanation and/or apology for Nick Berg's be-heading.
