Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told the Financial Times that he was not informed by the White House that it was stripping him of some of his power overseeing the reconstruction of Iraq until the decision was already made. In a sign that the Pentagon-led reconstruction was not going as planned, President Bush named national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to head the new Iraq Stabilization Group. Rumsfeld says he still doesn’t know why Bush made the major overhaul. In other Iraq news, three more U.S. soldiers have died.
