He had blood all over his hands. He turned "good" later on but you can't really make up for the kind of things he was responsible for in one lifetime.

FF for his administrative capabilities, HP for his hubris regarding Vietnam.  Though, I'll admit, I'm not well read on the subject, and it is certainly possible a lot of the blame regarding the poor strategies utilized in Vietnam should have fell more on the generals.  None the less, the buck should stop at the Secretary's office.

Massive HP.

McNamara played a major role in the cover up of the USS Liberty. He was a Traitor.


http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ussliberty.html


"A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident.

In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary."

It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins."

     Foreign interventionist scum. It would be impossible for me to overstate my distaste for him.

Yes, he should have been extradited to Vietnam.
