Rumsfeld: I don't think so. And suppress isn't the right word.
Myers: This was not to suppress anything. I asked for delay, given current situation in Iraq, as bad as it had been since major combat ended. I said I knew report would eventually come out, but asked for delay. Report has been around since January; pictures are new. Did not discuss with President or VP.
_______(?): Attempts to suppress antithetical to democracy. President undermining democracy in US
Rumsfeld: through history of this country, there have been circumstances in which gov't asked for delay. it is not against our principles, not against our history.
_____(?): you came before us three hours before release and never mentioned it. How can this do anything but escalate hatred in the Arab world?
Rumsfeld will expedite answer for the record.
