"So who is in charge of finding WMD?" Stephen Cambone. "Who?", Bush asked.

Eschaton has a nice torture speculation snag from a blog:

Many of you will recall the following passage from Time Magazine
last July:

Meeting last month at a sweltering U.S. base outside
Doha, Qatar, with his top Iraq commanders, President
Bush skipped quickly past the niceties and went
straight to his chief political obsession: Where are
the weapons of mass destruction? Turning to his
Baghdad proconsul, Paul Bremer, Bush asked, 'Are you
in charge of finding WMD?' Bremer said no, he was not.
Bush then put the same question to his military
commander, General Tommy Franks. But Franks said it
wasn't his job either. A little exasperated, Bush
asked, So who is in charge of finding WMD? After
aides conferred for a moment, someone
volunteered the name of Stephen Cambone, a
littleknown deputy to Donald Rumsfeld, back in
Washington. Pause. 'Who?' Bush asked.


This is pure speculation, but it is worth looking into what those
interrogators were after in Abu Ghraib. Cambone framed it yesterday
as "trying to prevent attacks against American soldiers.," which, I
supose, you could interpret in a number of ways. But, if the focus was
finding the non-existent WMD, then you'd have to ask whether the
man whose "chief political obsession" was finding them gave the order
to take off the gloves.

1. Cambone will be taking the fall for Rummy

2. I edited in the blogger's spec.

If Cambone falls, it may be for aWol.

3. Robert Novak (yes, I know he's despicable) agrees with this...

On Inside Politics, Novak just stated that it looks as though Cambone is being set up as a fall guy for Rumsfeld.
