Rumsfeld Office Raises Questions
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "has left the Pentagon, but not the Defense Department," according to the
Washington Times.
"On Jan. 4, Mr. Rumsfeld opened a government-provided transition office
in Arlington and has seven Pentagon-paid staffers working for him...
The Pentagon said former secretaries are entitled to a transition
office to sort papers, some of which can be taken with them for a
library, for archives or to write a book."
However, the office "has raised some eyebrows inside the Pentagon. Some
question the size of the staff, which includes two military officers
and two enlisted men. They also ask why the sorting could not have been
done from the time Mr. Rumsfeld resigned Nov. 8 to when he left the
building Dec. 18."
