speaking of lying: Rumsfeld implied that NEWSWEEK indirectly killed people by engaging in shoddy journalism (i.e., not toeing the line completely, reporting on the Koran desecration). Well he -- and his alleged boss -- LIED and killed many more.
[I posted the following -- concerning the furor over Newsweek -- on another list. I usually don't cross-post, but the original was so marred by typos I figured one more time, corrected, wouldn't hurt.]
It's the peripheral players in the Guantanamo Bay saga who wind up prostrating themselves in apology for causing harm -- not the USG, which conceived and operates this Geneva-light, heavy-duty Q&A facility in total secrecy and never has to offer the least word of accountability, explanation or reassurance about what the hell's going on at Gitmo.
Bush & Co. are such masters at removing themselves from the scene of the crime and placing blame elsewhere, it's surprising they haven't said that any human rights abuses at Gitmo are the responsibility of the Cuban government, since the detention center is on Cuban soil.
