Azizi - My guess is that Robertson's resignation was a long time comin.

Last year he declared the military commission trials for terror suspects from Guantanamo, to be unlawful. He was also getting ready to release two men from Guantanamo which has meant opposition from
the Bush administration.

Its pretty clear where he stands.

Seems to me that he did as much good as he could and has decided to get out while the gettins good. I'm sure he received a little push from Georgie Boy.
