4. He'll have some dismissive excuse for the abuse

Since this whole story broke a couple of days ago, we have seen nothing of Rumsfeld....Why?...Remember his "explanation" of the looting which followed the fall of Baghdad?....He said "TV is showing the same picture over and over of someone carrying a vase they've stolen" and he said it wasn't multiple acts of theft....How is he going to whitewash the abuse pictures from Iraq?

7. yeah, that's my fave

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know.
There are known unkowns. That is to say, there are things we know we don't know.
But, there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know.
-- (Rumsfield knows how to knowingly confuse his knowledgable Audience at a Pentagon briefing)

8. Here's what Rumsferatu said about the looting & chaos in Bagdad

Edited on Tue May-04-04 11:50 AM by Unknown Known

"I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn't believe it," he said. "I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny - 'The sky is falling'. I've never seen anything like it! And here is a country that's being liberated, here are people who are going from being repressed and held under the thumb of a vicious dictator, and they're free. And all this newspaper could do, with eight or 10 headlines, they showed a man bleeding, a civilian, who they claimed we had shot - one thing after another. It's just unbelievable ..."

and remember this gem...

"It's untidy, and freedom's untidy," he said, jabbing his hand in the air. "Free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things."

17. Asked whether he should have known

whether Myers should have dealt with it when he knew, whether Rummy should have dealt a week ago etc., he says "We knew as soon as it was noticed."

20. Asked about what McCain said: Congress should have known (been

informed).... This was handled totally correctly... the report moving through the chain of command.
