CLINTON: But, Mr. Secretary, in January 2002, when you publicly declared that hundreds of people detained by U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan do not have any rights under the Geneva Convention, that was taken as a signal.

And it is clear in looking through the number of investigations that are currently ongoing, that it wasn't just this particular battalion but others that did not receive appropriate training and information about their responsibilities with respect to detention or the Geneva Convention

RUMSFELD:Second, the decision that was made by the president of the United States that you referred to was announced. And in the announcement it was said that the Al Qaida in Guantanamo that are captured in the world, mostly in Afghanistan, would be treated consistent with the Geneva Convention. That is a fact.

I was recalling this exchange as well and went back to read it again. Rumsfeld exposed the Beasts attempt to deceive and twist the truth, IMO.

I heard that exchange as well and couldn't remember exactly what the Hildebeast had said by the time Rummy was finished with her. I thought he demolished her.

Good find, prairie. We're headed out this evening so if you find anything pertinent - could you ping me? Thanks!
