Wash. Post repeated McCain's false claim that he called for Rumsfeld's resignation

SUMMARY: In an article about President Bush's relationship with Sen. John McCain, The Washington Post reported that McCain "regularly reminds audiences that he also criticized Bush's management of the war and called for Donald H. Rumsfeld's resignation as defense secretary." But when McCain was asked in 2006 whether Rumsfeld needed to step down, he replied: "Well, I've said for a long time that I had no confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld, but that's a decision to be made by the president."
