I was aware of Rumsfeld's earlier comments regarding the Geneva Conventions and Guantanamo. The MSNBC article you posted also states: Rumsfeld initially fought both the uniformed military and Colin Powell, who urged that prisoners in Guantanamo be accorded rights under the conventions. Eventually he gave in on the matter but continued to suggest that the protocols were antiquated.

Anyhow, my initial comment was about the situation at Abu Ghraib. At last week's hearing Rumsfeld did testify that the Geneva Conventions were to be followed at Abu Ghraib. Clearly they were not always followed.
