A confused Donny Rumsfeld claimed Thursday that the abuse of prisoner in Iraq and likely elsewhere, was not carried out during the interrogations...

This statement was made THE SAME DAY and THE DAY AFTER two separate reports by an Army panel and a panel appointed by Rummy himself "made clear that some abuses occurred during interrogations, that others were intended to soften up prisoners who were to be questioned, and that many intelligence personnel involved in the interrogations were implicated in the abuses."

Why??? Why isn't there protests in the streets against this administration?

More from NYT:

"...in an interview with a radio station in Phoenix, Mr. Rumsfeld, who was traveling outside Washington this week, said, "I have not seen anything thus far that says that the people abused were abused in the process of interrogating them or for interrogation purposes." A transcript of the interview was posted on the Pentagon's Web site on Friday. Mr. Rumsfeld repeated the assertion a few hours later at a news conference in Phoenix, adding that "all of the press, all of the television thus far that tried to link the abuse that took place to interrogation techniques in Iraq has not yet been demonstrated." After an aide slipped him a note during the news conference, however, Mr. Rumsfeld corrected himself, noting that an inquiry by three Army generals had, in fact, found "two or three" cases of abuse during interrogations or the interrogations process. In fact, however, the Army inquiry found that 13 of 44 instances of abuse involved interrogations or the interrogation process, an Army spokeswoman said. The report itself explicitly describes the extent to which each abuse involved interrogations."

Could this be another attack???

NBC News Moscow bureau chief Tom Bonifield is reporting that there has not yet been confirmation of a second crash.

Raising the possibility of a terrorist act, Bonifield reported that "the war in Chechnya has raised, off and on since 1994, a real problem for Russia."

“We've seen repeated attacks — including here in Moscow — that have been caused by Chechen rebels," Bonifield said, adding that Russian transportation officials “are fairly rigorous about protecting their aviation industry.”
