He urged context from history and declined to grade his tenure, noting the need for global cooperation against terrorism and ongoing Iraqi training missions at Fort Riley. Protesters outside reflected splits over policy as Rumsfeld prepared to visit the base.

Faith group says Kline abused religion in 2006 race
The Interfaith Alliance labeled a memo by Attorney General Phill Kline pressuring pastors to raise funds and recruit church members as the worst abuse of religion in American politics during the 2006 cycle. It cited plans for pro Kline church committees and church outreach to fundraisers amid scrutiny of Kline’s church ties. The memo surfaced after leaks and followed criticisms from former AG Bob Stephan and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Kline denied links between sermons and campaigns as he faced debates over nonprofit election involvement.
