Good grief, why parrot such unproven fluff?

Pleae note the word "seemingly" in footnote no. 2. of the article you linked, as follows:

But later Rumsfeld himself, impressed by the success of techniques used against Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly set in motion a process that led to their use in Iraq, even though that war was supposed to have been governed by the Geneva Conventions. Ultimately, reservist MPs, like those at Abu Ghraib, were drawn into a system in which fear and humiliation were used to break prisoners' resistance to interrogation.

Seemingly:

\Seem"ing*ly\, adv. In appearance; in show; in semblance; apparently; ostensibly.

Do you read this crap before you post it? Does the fact that the support for the article is no support at all mean anything to you?

I doubt it. When neurons are rock-hard, they are rock-hard. No arguing with the faithful.

Sad.
