Rumsfeld Approved Policy of Abuse

"Michael Bryant" wrote in message ... From: "T. Early" Definitively is a big word and the -particulars- of what we know occurred at Abu Ghraib have not been tied to Rumsfeld. It's a good piece because Hersh is one of the best at mining people who have axes to grind as his unnamed sources. Unfortunately, he writes lead paragraphs like the one in the New Yorker story that are designed for maximum (overly broad) impact and aren't really supported by what follows. Wasn't Hersch the journalist that first reported the My Lai massacre in Vietnam? Didn't the investigation by the military end up confirming his reporting? I didn't say he doesn't have the credentials, nor am I in any position to argue with the substance of the New Yorker piece. I said I think his lead paragraph--specifically "Rumsfeld’s decision embittered the American intelligence community, damaged the effectiveness of élite combat units, and hurt America’s prospects in the war on terror"--is a broad-stroke opinion, not a fact, and is not explored in the article. |

Maybe he needs to investigate Kerry and confirm the war atrocities he admits to committing. |
