Quote: Chant said: But that Rumsfeld comes out and says to the media and the people shows that they admit it happened, and that something worse happened aswell. That at least, counts for something
The only problem with that statement is that the abuse was well known a long time ago but Rumsfeld is only now being so forthcoming thanks to that CBS 60 Minutes II broadcast which blew this story open. If not for that peice, I doubt we'd be here discussing this or Rumsfeld would be disclosing anything to the public and/or Congress.
The Red Cross disclosed that it had been warning American officials of WIDESREAD (not isolated incidents) of prisoner abuse for much of 2003 to no avail. Where was Rumsfeld then?
