Mr. Moussambani, Great question. The answer is like that of the pawn
situation: Thus,for illustration...
Four rooks are in play. A rook is captured by the opponent.  The
opponent now removes any one the three remaining enemy rooks.(capturer's
choice).

As Mr. Moussambani stated, 'It's much more simple, and a logical
extension of the pawn capture rule...'

Another question, that might arise is: could a King ever move into check
by capturing a Rook that was protected by another Rook?  Or, for example,
take a Knight that was protected by another Knight?  Yes.  Because the
King is instantly capturing 2 pieces, thereby 'getting out of check' by
actually moving into check for an instant.  Technically the King is moving
out of check.
