| Call for Rumsfeld, FBI probe Associated Press | March 16 2004 LAW enforcement agencies should investigate Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and FBI agents for possessing mementos from the sites of the September 11 terrorist attacks, a group of lawyers said. The National Whistleblower Centre made the request today because an inquiry found Rumsfeld has a piece of the airplane that flew into the Pentagon inside his office. The Justice Department's inspector general also discovered that 13 FBI agents had taken rubble, debris and items such as flags and a Tiffany crystal globe paperweight from Ground Zero at the World Trade Centre. Defence Department spokesman Eric Ruff rejected any suggestion of impropriety. "It's not a souvenir; it is a memento on display in Secretary Rumsfeld's office," Ruff said. "It's hard to imagine there's something wrong in trying to remind people of what happened on 9/11." Rumsfeld "may have violated the federal conversion statute", the Whistleblower Centre wrote to Attorney-General John Ashcroft. The centre, which represents federal employees who face retaliation for reporting possible wrongdoing inside the Government, also said authorities in New York state should look into the actions of the FBI agents who took items. |
