Rumsfeld is still here!

Did somebody forget the stake and garlic?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 It appears that while former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has left the Pentagon, he's still with the Defense Department, a report says.

On Jan. 4, nearly two months after he retired under pressure, Rumsfeld opened a government-provided transition office in Arlington, Va., the Washington Times said.

The Pentagon lists him as a nonpaid consultant with seven Pentagon-paid staffers helping him. Rumsfeld and his aides, including close adviser Stephen Cambone, are sifting through the thousands of pages of documents generated during his six-year tenure. He says he is undecided about his future but may write a book.

The transition office has raised some eyebrows inside the Pentagon, both in regard to the size of his staff and why the sorting wasn't done earlier.
