Surprisingly, yes.

Donald Rumsfeld has a notorious vindictive streak. How low will he stoop to pursue it? Let's put him to the test. If he wanted to get really brutal, Rumsfeld could convene a court-martial and prosecute the six retired generals who have been calling for his head. Military law, if read literally, permits him to do this. So, will he?

Well i'm not sure where the writer gets this idea:
"But if it is a crime, punishable by court-martial, to disdain Donald Rumsfeld, he could lock up half the Army officer corps."
But in any case I would be highly suprised if the SOD brought charges against Zinni and company. After all, the only person you have to keep happy in any military unit, private company or government organization is the boss and Rumsfeld has that.
