Rumsfeld given standing ovation From correspondents in Washington May 12, 2004 PENTAGON employees gave United States Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld a standing ovation today at a meeting at which he said the scandal over abuse of Iraqi prisoners should not be allowed to define the way the US military is seen by the world. The audience at a Pentagon auditorium rose to their feet in applause after General Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, urged them to thank Rumsfeld for his leadership. "There is not a single human being in this government and certainly not in this building who works harder or is more dedicated or is a better patriot than is Secretary Rumsfeld," Pace said. Rumsfeld acknowledged the damage to US reputation caused by the abuses committed by military police at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. "It is a body blow when we find that we have -- as we have in past week or so to date - a few who have betrayed our values by their conduct," Rumsfeld said.
