In the grand scheme of things, I think that one is pretty minor.

I just wish he'd get some duct tape for Rumsfeld's mouth. How in the hell can the SecDef not know he's in the Chain of Command and a reviewing authority for any investigation regarding General Franks? I don't give a whoppty-shit if he let momma fly for free; I really can imagine circumstances where a guard (if not an aide) would be appropriate.

But letting his wife attend classified briefings? You gotta be kidding me. If this allegation is true - and I don't have an opinion on whether it is or isn't - it goes way beyond some technical violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And Rumsfeld's remarks are akin to a judge remarking on the character of an accused prior to being hauled into court - in front of the judge that made the remarks. Totally and completely inappropriate in a major way.
