	James R. Schlesinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Rodney Schlesinger (born 15 February 1929) was United States Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 1974 under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
		Schlesinger believed that "deterrence is not a substitute for defense; defense capabilities, representing the potential for effective counteraction, are the essential condition of deterrence." He had grave doubts about the assured destruction strategy, which relied on massive nuclear attacks against an enemy's urban-industrial areas.
		Schlesinger is currently the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MITRE Corporation; a Senior Advisor for Lehman Brothers; Publisher of The National Interest; a Director of BNFL, Inc., Peabody Energy, Sandia Corporation, Seven Seas Petroleum Company, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of The Nixon Center.

	washingtonpost.com: Top Pentagon Leaders Faulted in Prison Abuse
		The four-member panel headed by former defense secretary James R. Schlesinger found that actions by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld contributed to confusion over what techniques were permissible for interrogating prisoners in Iraq.
		Schlesinger said Rumsfeld's resignation "would be a boon to all of America's enemies and, consequently, I think that it would be a misfortune if it were to take place." He said that while Myers and other high-ranking officers made mistakes, the errors were not sufficient to warrant their resignations.
		Schlesinger disputed the claim that the abuse at Abu Ghraib was part of an intelligence-gathering operation.

		Still, the four-member panel headed by former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger concluded that current Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other senior leaders, including Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should not be forced to resign because of the scandal.
		Schlesinger, speaking at a Pentagon news conference to release the panel's 118-page report, faulted the U.S. military chain of command — from Rumsfeld down to the commanders of the units in Iraq responsible for prisoners.
		Schlesinger said commanders at Abu Ghraib up to the brigade level shared "direct responsibility" because "they did not adequately supervise what was going on" at the prison.

		James R. Schlesinger, former CIA director and former Secretary of Defense in the Nixon and Ford Administrations, offered his for-the-record remarks in lieu of an appearance before the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs hearing that took place February 7.
		Intelligence and airport security are two sectors he said he has found "lax, not to say careless, in a variety of ways that have eased the problem for terrorists." These two sectors, he said, need to be re-examined and better suited for the challenges that lie ahead in preventing further terrorist incidents.
		The hearing was called to consider the bill to establish a commission to investigate why the U.S. Government failed to foresee the terrorist attacks of September 11.

		Schlesinger said abuses were widespread throughout the military detention system, which was set up after hostilities began in Afghanistan.
		Asked if Rumsfeld should resign, Schlesinger said, "His resignation would be a boon to all of America's enemies and, consequently, I think it would be a misfortune if it were to take place." The three other panel members concurred.
