Donald Rumsfeld was recently invited to become a "Visiting Fellow" at Stanford's right-wing think tank, The Hoover Institution. Rummy will be spending a year on campus with his fellow conservatives, George Schultz and Newt Gingrich. On Sept. 7, the Hoover Institution announced that Rumsfeld will serve on a task force focused upon issues pertaining to "ideology and terror." Silly me, I thought he was already an expert on "ideology and terror" and didn't realize that he needed to think about it some more.
Some of the Stanford faculty have launched a protest. If you are affiliated with Stanford (student, faculty, staff, alum, parent, employee, former employee, nursery school parent, dish walker, whatever), and you want to participate, sign the Stanford Community Petition to say no to Rumsfeld's plan to invade the Hoover Institution.
