Seven Days in May? Sidney Blumenthal gets out his tinfoil hat and postulates on the depth of how much the brass detest Rummy, Wolfowitz and Feith.

One high-level military strategist told me that Rumsfeld is "detested", and that "if there's a sentiment in the army it is: Support Our Troops, Impeach Rumsfeld". The Council on Foreign Relations has been showing old movies with renewed relevance to its members. The Battle of Algiers, depicting the nature and costs of a struggle with terrorism, is the latest feature. The seething in the military against Bush and Rumsfeld might prompt a showing of Seven Days in May, about a coup staged by a rightwing general against a weak liberal president, an artefact of the conservative hatred directed at President Kennedy in the early 60s

Now he is not exactly saying a coup is possible, and thinking a coup is possible is, of course, insane. After all in this country we don't rely on undemocratic groups to decide who our leader is supposed to be. Who ever heard of cutting short the democratic process to annoint the President by fiat. That's crazy talk.
