Call for Rumsfeld, FBI probe
From correspondents in Washington

LAW enforcement agencies should investigate Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and FBI agents for possessing mementos from the sites of the September 11 terrorist attacks, a group of lawyers said.

The National Whistleblower Centre made the request today because an inquiry found Rumsfeld has a piece of the airplane that flew into the Pentagon inside his office.

The Justice Department's inspector general also discovered that 13 FBI agents had taken rubble, debris and items such as flags and a Tiffany crystal globe paperweight from Ground Zero at the World Trade Centre.

Defence Department spokesman Eric Ruff rejected any suggestion of impropriety.

"It's not a souvenir; it is a memento on display in Secretary Rumsfeld's office," Ruff said. "It's hard to imagine there's something wrong in trying to remind people of what happened on 9/11."

Rumsfeld "may have violated the federal conversion statute", the Whistleblower Centre wrote to Attorney-General John Ashcroft.

The centre, which represents federal employees who face retaliation for reporting possible wrongdoing inside the Government, also said authorities in New York state should look into the actions of the FBI agents who took items.

CIA and DoD Attempted To Plant WMDs in Iraq — and Failed
According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt. Commander
and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department, the Bush
administration's assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq was based on a CIA plan to "plant" WMDs inside the country.
Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when
the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by "friendly fire."
