It is unacceptable for the Secretary of "War" to be kept out of the loop during a war. Bush and Rumsfeld should know everything about stuff like this when someone below them know about it. Someone should be fired for so poorly representing the best interests of Bush by making him look uninformed and out of the loop in his own administration.

First of all, I am a pretty straightforward poster and I checked what you were replying to and I don't know why you are replying in the manner you are as if I was offering a defense when I was giving plain and simple facts.

At any rate, I agree it is not good they were out of the loop.

The photos were being held by the criminal division as they processed the court martials. Rumsfeld was aware of the facts sans photos.

(Please don't go interpreting that as a defense, either.)
