Debate Over Rumsfeld's Future Grows - CBS News:

"(CBS/AP) A tumultuous week for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not end on a quiet note as prominent military and political leaders debated his future on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Some influential retired generals have called for Rumsfeld to resign his post because of his abusive leadership style and strategic failures in the war in Iraq. But, President Bush, the current Pentagon leadership and other former military officials have launched a counter-offensive in support of the Secretary.

Retired General Richard B. Myers said on Sunday that Rumsfeld did not intimidate members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during planning of the Iraq war as some others have charged.

Myers, the Air Force general who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs until last fall, also dismissed criticism that military leaders failed to stand up to Rumsfeld and Mr. Bush when the military and civilian officials disagreed. "
