Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, responding to allegations that he fostered a climate that led to the prisoner-abuse scandal, said yesterday that the military's mistreatment of detainees was not as bad as what terrorists have done.
"Does it rank up there with chopping someone's head off on television?" he asked. "It doesn't." |
Since when did evil become the standard against which the United States judges itself? Aren't the good guys supposed to be held to a higher standard than the bed guys? And shouldn't our Secretary of Defense know this?
