Thank you! That's exactly what I think. When the Clintons apologize for getting us the hell in this mess then I will agree. Until then NO WAY!
If anyone wants to know why SO MANY PEOPLE stay home on election day this could do it. What's the difference if we bend over every time some lunatic politician gets their feelings hurt?!

Good. Guess I worry too much. ;) Donald Rumsfeld knows what he's about.
To: kcvl
So sad that this fine man has to bow down and say I'm sorry to the likes of maxine waters and the rest of her gang of commie thieves. He's got nothing to be sorry for and IMHO I think he should instead tell them all to go to hell!

Where was the "torture?" Abuse maybe, hazing maybe, shame maybe. What they did was not near to "torture." The guys looked like they still had all their body parts.

These prisoners are the worst of the worst. They are hired 'insurgents' who came to Iraq expressly to KILL American troops. Now, the libs have the Admin cornered and apologizing for not playing nice with the terrorists You're right .. But what those soldiers did was wrong also
One thing we like to brag about is the Honor of our Military and that also means owning up if a few of our own screw up

Get over yourself. The Bush administration is already giving over to Hillary Clinton and her media *ss kissers. President Bush seems to give them the benefit of the doubt every time they attack him. We all know who is responsible for 9/11 and no one wants to POINT THE FINGER AT THE CLINTONS! I don't really give a damn about POINTING MY FINGER AT THEM! We have a sham of a 9/11 Commission with ONE OF THE PROBLEMS ON IT and now this.

Kimmett apologizes...
Democrats and media reject apology. Administration must apologize.
Scott McClellan apologizes....
Democrats and media reject apology. President Bush must apologize.
Bush goes on Al-Arabiya and A--Hurra; calls abuse abhorrent.
Democrats and media reject gesture. Bush must APOLOGIZE.
Bush Apologizes...
Democrats and media reject apology. Rumsfeld must go.
Rumsfeld apologizes...
Democrats and media reject apology. Rumsfeld must go.
If Rumsfeld Goes....
Democrats and media reject gesture. Administration must choose liberal for new SecDef.
Democrats filibuster new SecDef, Administration is distracted by this till January. Not to mention that there is no one that can replace Don Rumsfeld at this juncture in history.

I think it is better if it is only the Dems who aren't on the high road... Principles. The thing that should separate us.

Fitz, I appreciate your attempts to defend our soldiers, but in war situations at POW camps, there is a long history of occurrences like this, mainly because of poor oversight on the part of MI (military intelligence) and lack of troop rotation.
In military psychological studies, it has been show to be inevitable, because as a soldier and a human being, the mind starts to dehumanize the enemy. Unfortunately, some of these prisoners, just as in Guantanamo, were simple people, not soldiers or terrorists.
There is a new article in The Guardian with an article about a contractor from the prison who has come forward verifying that there IS a systemic problem with the way that prison is run.

Perhaps being sodomized with a broom handle is something you enjoy? Are you serious? I would call that torture.

No one said that they shouldn't be punished. That just shows that you know absolutely NOTHING about what I am saying. I believe Fox News before I believe anything that you say.

I agree that he shouldn't have to *apologize*. At the most Rummy can say this happened on his watch and will be responsible for cleaning up the mess.
What this all brings to mind is whatever happened to the charge of TREASON. With all the crap we've been hearing from big mouth senators who love to trash our troops and President, you would think someone would be formally accused of treason by now.

One thing we like to brag about is the Honor of our Military and that also means owning up if a few of our own screw up OTOH, some of the responses on this thread are helping me to begin to see how the Nazis were able to get away with some of the things they did. There are folks actually trying to excuse these actions -- or at least rationalize them away.

Bring charges against those responsible for the abuse, but don't apologize for something you did not have direct control over Those soldiers will be dealt with and as for Rummy .. I think I'll wait to hear what he actually says

Here's something to think about...
This is going to an overreaching and over simplification of a deeper subject, but time and space dictate that I'm brief...
The Arab culture is a shame based culture. If you do any study in the psychology of the Arab culture, you will see how much shame and humiliation control their actions. They are still humiliated over the fact that it took the British to get rid of Napolean in Egypt... still shamed over the fact they lost Spain. They are still humiliated that an army of Holocaust survivors beat them in a war and continues to beat them every time they fight. They react from being humiliated. They strike out to remove their shame.
Don't mistunderestimate this!
That's why it was so bad... That's why it was torture. Torture doesn't just have to be lopping off body parts.
Furthermore, I have heard it said on these posts that pledges have suffered more during hell week.
Again...there is a big difference. Pledges are willing participants in their hazing with the ability to simply walk away if its too much. They aren't humiliated (per se) because everyone is in on the gag...
These prisoners, under our care, were not willing participants. Neither can they walk away.
