Bush taps Rumsfeld again for secretary of defense
President-elect Bush selected Donald Rumsfeld to serve as secretary of defense, returning to a Pentagon post he held previously. The move, announced amid speculation about Dan Coats or other Cheney aides, pairs Rumsfeld with Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Dick Cheney as a strong, consultative team for national security. Other cabinet possibilities surfaced, including Tomo Thompson for Health and Human Services and Rod Paige for Education, while Lisa Keegan remained uncalled.
