U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee (news - web sites) on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 7, 2004. Rumsfeld, in his opening remarks said, 'I feel terrible about what happened to these Iraqi detainees. They are human beings. They were in U.S. custody. Our country had an obligation to treat them right. We didn't, and that was wrong. So to those Iraqis who were mistreated by members of the U.S. armed forces, I offer my deepest apology.'
