(Why are all of these story links posted anonymously? Is Bill Clinton a lurker or something?)
That AP/Yahoo story is shockingly incomplete. It leaves out a very important fact: he resigned as chairman of the advisory board. But he’s remaining on the board. I imagine he’ll continue to exert quite a bit of his evil influence despite not chairing the group.
A better article:

Yeah, I missed that at first too, but it’s in the second paragraph of the article:
In a brief statement, Rumsfeld thanked Perle for his service and said he was grateful that the former Reagan administration official had agreed to remain a board member. Rumsfeld made no reference to a reason for Perle giving up the chairmanship.
Ah. Talk about playing it down.
The conservative media at work again. :-)
