According to Rumsfeld, we haven't seen the worst acts of torture and

degradation inflicted by US soldiers on Iraqi prisoners.

Stick that up your denials, Gaquin.


Crude response, but not atypical, Harry.

Actually, if you read carefully you'll find that what Rumsfeld actually
said
is that there are more photos and tapes of the crimes already committed
at
abu Ghraib that are already the subject of reports and investigation.
Of
course, this in no way ameliorates the situation, but nor does it
exacerbate
it. Taking one hundred pictures of a train wreck instead of fifteen
pictures does not mean there were more train wrecks. But it does mean
that
those who don't pay attention can be made to think that there were more
train wrecks, if someone wants to convince them of that.

If you also read the Taguba report, two things are clear.

1) The leadership, training, and command oversight within the 800 MP
Brigade
was seriously deficient.


The deficiencies in leadership in this country go all the way to the
top. The buck stops on Bush's desk.

Was Clinton responsible for the savage deaths of postal workers by fellow
postal employees in the 1990's? By your twisted logic, he should have been.
The buck stopped at Clintons desk, didn't it?.
