WASHINGTON -- Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld defended himself and took no personal responsibility Wednesday for the military's bungled response to Army Ranger Pat Tillman's friendly-fire death in Afghanistan.
Rumsfeld, in his first public appearance on Capitol Hill since President Bush replaced him with Robert Gates late last year, reiterated previous testimony to investigators that he didn't have early knowledge that Tillman was cut down by fellow Rangers, not by enemy militia, as was initially claimed.

WASHINGTON, March 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld bears direct responsibility for the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody, the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First charged today in the first federal court lawsuit to name a top U.S. official in the ongoing torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan that has tarnished America's reputation.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Illinois on behalf of eight men who were subject to torture and abuse at the hands of U.S. forces under Secretary Rumsfeld's command. The parties are seeking a court order declaring that Secretary Rumsfeld's actions violated the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes and international law.

Bob Woodward's latest book is filled with vignettes about how Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld's refusal to heed military advice turned the Iraq intervention into the current mess. Mr. Woodward repeats the familiar charges that because Mr. Rumsfeld intimidated the brass into submission, the United States invaded Iraq with insufficient forces and failed to plan for the peace. Predictably, the book triggered a mini-tsunami of new calls for the secretary's resignation.
Suppose President Bush listens and Mr. Rumsfeld goes tomorrow? Then what?
