In a farewell speech yesterday, outgoing US secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld stated that his worst day of office was the day he heard about the abuses at Abu Ghraib. He also added, "I remember being stunned by the news of the abuse at Abu Ghraib."
Oddly enough, just a few weeks ago former US Army Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, who ran the prison for a time, alleged that Rumsfeld authorized the abuses.
With Rumsfeld facing possible civil charges in the US and criminal charges in Germany, were his comments Friday part of a defense strategy?
