Cornyn: Listening to Q&A so far, two major problems, shock to our sensibilities and shock to Congress to see the pictures in the press. Re due process and command influence. CENTCOM January report announcing investigation. "Release of specific info could hinder investigation."
Military subscribes to high standards. What you have described of chronology of investigation gives him confidence that DoD has taken it as seriously as it should have. Realizes not all facts are in yet. But have been criminal charges against some.
Describe how you will see they get due process and see that information does not drift out on a piecemeal basis.
Rumsfeld: That's the dilemma. Protect rights of accused but don't allow them to escape through command influence on chain of command. It's a problem. Outcry would be tremendous if command looked down too early, but otherwise don't know when something like this is there.
