#234 - His Administration Can't Play by the Rules

From today's New York Times:

A Justice Department investigation that criticized F.B.I. agents for taking relics from the Staten Island landfill that held the rubble of the World Trade Center also found that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld kept a piece of the airplane that struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

Rumsfeld's excuse?

"It would be incorrect to say this is a souvenir," [Defense Department spokesman Lawrence] Di Rita said in a telephone interview Friday night. "It's not the secretary's. It's a memento on display in the Pentagon."
