Rumsfeld Says Terror Outweighs Jail Abuse
Associated Press, Saturday, September 11, 2004

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, responding to allegations that he fostered a climate that led to the prisoner-abuse scandal, said yesterday that the military's mistreatment of detainees was not as bad as what terrorists have done.

"Does it rank up there with chopping someone's head off on television?" he asked. "It doesn't."

Rumsfeld acknowledged once again that he had approved harsher interrogation methods for suspects captured in the global war on terrorism but said the rules were meant only for the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility for terrorist suspects and had nothing to do with Iraq, where the prison scandal emerged.

Once more the Bush administration confirms they're not responsible for anything. They haven't accomplished any thing in 4 years except killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
