This is annoying

If Rumsfeld tried to quit, why not let him? Bush is such an idiot. Although, I'm not sure I believe this, if he really wanted to quit because of what happened, Bush couldn't make him stay. At the very least, he could have left at the end of the term with everyone else. Hell, if he was really that embarrassed about the torture scandal, he could have stuck around, then made sure that the President didn't try to appoint pro-torture people to the cabinet.
