If military intelligence is conducting torture without approval from the government, yet on behalf of the government, who the hell is running the country? does intelligence run the country or the government?

at every level, the government gives directives and leads - and always has to take responsibility. if George Bush has been foolish enough to highly praise Rumsfeld after these photos have come out - then, he is condoning what has happened. Because he didnt sack Rumsfeld, he too should resign.
