I HATE THESE FUCKERS

THIS is Rumsfeld's big lie about Abu Ghraib¹:

SEC. RUMSFELD: ... And it breaks our hearts that in fact someone didn't say, "Wait. Look, this is terrible. We need to do something to manage" -- the legal part of it was proceeding along fine. What wasn't proceeding along fine is the fact that the president didn't know, and you didn't know, and I didn't know, and as a result, somebody just sent a secret report to the press, and there they are.
