Get Rumsfield...
The Army and the CIA have groups of nearly mutinous officials who have hated Rumsfeld's (and Bush's) challenge to their self-perceived importance, and who are willing to feed crap to that liar Hersh to accomplish their goals.
Isn't Hersh the dingbat who said he had proof of JFK's affair with Marylin Monroe, then refused to accept that his evidence was bogus, even after someone pointed out that letters he held up as evidence had zip codes before the invention of zip codes.
I believe he is one and the same.
The media smell blood and aren't going to let this go. They will drag this out as long as they can.
This is baloney.
Exactly. This one is on life support. Notice how everything now hangs on one reporter's story whose methods and "sources" are, to say the least, questionable. The facts are indeed running against them and they know it.
No story. No legs at all.
The Pentagon's denial is no explanation; Rumsfeld needs to answer the charge that he approved maltreating inmates and say whether Bush knew.
This is an editorial masquerading as news.
HEY!! Where's the MegaBarf alert?? I'm surprised the stupid idiot Ron Peters or whatever his name was wasn't mentioned in this article. I couldn't see the picture just heard a voice on Cavuto the other day and the quality of the bitterness towards Rumsfield was unquestionably pegged to Peters. His ilk are the types that have a HUGE axe to grind.
It is not even on life support. This is just an open coffin wake. It is gone. A some real damage to Bush but not the damage they had hoped for. I bey he recovers from it. It reamins to be seen but they may have damaged themselves a bit. I hope so.
He keeps talking about new waves of revelations.
I haven't seen any waves of revelations--merely the carefully written 'shock' article by Hersh, quoting lots of retired officials (who probably don't know s...) about their speculations.

Hey UPI -
Tell the liar Marxist Martin Sieff that I'm not buying his Nazi propaganda. Try telling your fairy tales to wide-eyed little children at the democrat convention this summer. If that doesn't work, goosestep over to Iraq and find a few terrorists. I'm sure your mass-murdering terrorist buddies will believe you.
Either way we are doomed to watch and listen to Abu Ghraib ad nauseum. If a volcano suddenly blasted an entire continent off the face of the Earth, as soon as the news alert timed out they'd be back to torture! shame! US falls! more video at 11!
As I've said in other posts, I'd be surprised and disappointed if there wasn't an SAP program. Of course the CIA was interrogating under the radar after 9-11.
But if the story is correct and Rumsfeld brought it into a static environment and expanded the number of people who knew about it, he SHOULD be fired.
Things don't stay secret if you tell lots of people.
Doomed to listen? You don't have an OFF button?
No bias there--just straight news.
