Americans want Rummy to Stay on Job
Most Americans express dismay about the abuse of Iraqi detainees by U.S. soldiers, and the nation divides on whether the Bush administration sought at first to investigate the scandal â or to cover it up. Letâs start with the good news Yet more than six in 10 also see these incidents as isolated, and say they should not cost Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld his job. 69% but letâs round down Three-quarters of the public are closely following the story, a level of attention reserved for some of the most gripping news events. Two-thirds favor criminal charges against the soldiers involved; fewer â but still a majority â 54 percent, say punishment should go up the chain of command to higher-level officers who allowed a breakdown of training and discipline.
