Oh Yeah? -- Yeah!

Torture Policy (cont'd)

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Donald H. Rumsfeld expressed dismay on Thursday about editorials in which "the implication is that the United States government has, in one way or another, ordered, authorized, permitted, tolerated torture."
...
Since Mr. Rumsfeld referred directly to The Post, we believe we owe him a response.
...
If U.S. soldiers, Iraqi citizens and foreign leaders can see for themselves that American doctrine excludes illegal abuse, then the dangers Mr. Rumsfeld cited will be greatly lessened.

Hardly a real fight. Just pushing and posturing by both parties. Really, if this were a real fight the Post would have just said what we all know: Rumsfeld wants, orders and condones torture.
