Thanks for the headline, Rumsfeld. Now the talking heads will reopen the dialogue. Can you say regurgitate?

WHY? There's no use. Let the subject die a quick death.

It's like he noticed the Dems were almost out of gas and bought 'em a new tank full.

I've had it with this prisoner "abuse" story. I've come down with the perspective that this wasn't "torture," it was "hazing." In my view, the prison guards were working to break down the resistance of these prisoners by humilitating them ("humiliation" apparently being the worst thing someone can do an Arab) so they'd squeal on their fellow terrorists still at large. Rather than rake these soldiers over the coals, we should have given them all a medal.

The media sounds like Kerry. Saying the same things about Iraq Kerry said about Vietnam. They want to lose this war at home so they can claim they are the hero's and responsible for ending the war. It does not really matter to them that ending is not the same as winning.

It's amazing to me that this abuse story is being reported in America all the time but in Iraq, it's almost none. They couldn't care less and know the truth. What the US prison guards did to prisoners was a joke compared to Saddam's treatment. And, he wasn't at war with his own people. In war, sometimes you have to get information from the enemy at all costs. It saves American lives. I know, I know... the American press does not care if Americans die. Just that the enemy is comfortable.

Folks are missing the significance of this. It's reported elsewhere that MG Faye requested he be replaced by an officer of higher rank because the investigation requires "interviewing" people who outrank him, which he cannot do. A witness who had refused to testify rolled over, apparently incriminating somebody who outranks a Major General.
Time to give "hazing" a rest.
