The title of this thread reads......

Did Hillary reveal who leaked report in her questioning of Rumsfeld today?

I thought that it was the "pictures" that were leaked?

[abner]

The report was leaked, and so were the photos. Clinton was talking about the report specifically though today.

The photos can't be far behind though.

I thought they were both leaked, but separately. Seymour Hersch got a copy of the Taguba Report, which is about an ongoing criminal investigation.

CBS got the pictures, before the Generals and Rummy ever saw them.

Sounds like whoever passed these two items on chose carefully in deciding to whom to give them, and how to break them so they do the most damage.

The Taguba report didn't even include the photos, they were deemed so sensitive, according the Hersch article, so they had to be gotten from deeper in the investigation.

Oh man, Hillary stepped in this one but good! (/maniacal laughter)

You make a good point, and I'm not sure I can answer. Clinton referred to the Tuguba report, and to be honest today was the first time that I'd heard of it. She said it was a well known report. (a link on this thread earlier had Seymour Hersch as the one who broke the story on Tuguba, on 4/30, but I have no idea if that is right or not.) Rummy challenged her on the "well known report".

Having watched many hours of the hearings today, my take is: the story is in the pictures and how they got distributed. I hope we will eventually know.

Both the report and the pictures were leaked:

Rumsfeld Says Abuse of Iraqi Prisoners `Un-American'

Excerpt:

Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of coalition forces in Iraq, in January requested the investigative report of the 800th Military Police Brigade that operated at the prison. The report, classified on its cover page as ``Secret/No Foreign Dissemination,'' was obtained by Bloomberg News. The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times have reported on portions of it.

In addition, as pointed out, the report had not reached Myers and Rumsfeld yet, so was not "well known" before media publication, despite HRC's contention.
