Yes, Rumsfeld and some unnnamed high FBI officials looted the 9/11 site (proof here). And that's against the law (back here).

So why is there one law for Rumsfeld, and another law for ordinary Texans?

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- eBay deleted several items billed as debris from the space shuttle Columbia from the online auction site, warning that anyone attempting to sell fragments from the shuttle could be prosecuted.

eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said customer service representatives received a handful of listings throughout the day from people purporting to have found debris in Texas.

The listings were immediately yanked from the site, and executives may report the sellers to federal authorities.

Taking parts from an aircraft involved in an accident is a federal offense, U.S. attorneys in Texas warned, and a conviction could result in a prison term and a $250,000 fine.

So when is Bush going to fire Rumsfeld's ass for breaking the law?

Here's a list of the indictments, fines, guilty pleas, amnesties and other legal pain for looters of the Columbia debris.

Why isn't Rumsfeld's name on a list like that?

Could it be that there's one set of rules for powerful Bush administration officials, and another set of rules for the rest of us?
