There's a great discussion going on at Outside the Beltway regarding Donald Rumsfeld, and whether or not he'll be asked to resign from the administration. Novak thinks so, and is quoted taking the temperature of the Army (in particular). James makes the point that only someone like Rumsfeld--who doesn't care whether or not people like him--could achieve what he has in such a short amount of time, in terms of transforming the military into the lean machine it (almost) is now. The husband makes the remark that it would be great if someone would do the same for the intelligence agencies. The problem with these, of course, is that they operate in the dark, so it's hard to know whether and how they are changing. I'm hoping that seeing blood on their hands after 9/11 caused a lot of soul-searching.

But I'm the idealist in the family.
