Apology not accepted
What's worse? Clinton's cigar or the broomstick in question?
OK, an apology will not suffice to remedy the wrongs that the American military has done to the Iraqi prisoners, but a resignation will. The photos are breathtakingly upsetting (give me goosebumps so I will not post them), and the tools they used were horrific. Check out the list: threatening detainees with a pistol and with military dogs, sodomizing a prisoner with a chemical light and perhaps a broomstick, forcing naked prisoners into compromising positions and accusing them of being homosexual.
What's next? Baseball bats and kiwis?
It's funny Rumsfeld said, "To those Iraqis who were mistreated by members of the armed forces, I offer my deepest apology. It was inconsistent with the values of our nation." In reality, it is Rummy who is inconsistent with the nation's values - He's the typical example of what's un-American. Wolfowitz and Bush come closely behind.
The New York Times published a great editorial today urging Rumsfeld to go. For the well-being of American people and world peace, Rummy, please step down.
