Of course I really believe it. Newsweek owned by the WP, an organization which has been out in front as the antagonist toward the administration since day one, would stop at almost nothing to point out an embarrassing event related to the war and our military effort. Rumsfeld had as much to do with the idiots who committed stupid acts in Abu Ghraib as Bush did with the hurricanes in Florida last year. Yet enough leftists believed that to erect posters along the highway. Believe it or not, some military members are capable of doing really stupid things all on their own without direction from above. I realize allot of Americans view the military as some sort of society where the "big brains" at the top make each and every decision, but the truth is far from it. "Tracing" using that stretch in the imagination would go like this.... If Rumsfeld had not placed the detainees in lockdown and infringed on their civil rights so egregiously, while simultaneously focusing on getting as much information from them as possible, the guards wouldn't have had to resort to such egregious behavior to get information. Shame on the administration for forcing those guards to act that way.
