Whiskey Bar is lying through ommission on the first few quotes. The
implication is that Rumsfeld said something on May 4 and then said
something different on May 7 and so therefore must have been lying on May 4.
But as Rumsfeld testified, on May 4 he had only see the photos that had
been shown by CBS and other news media and in the May 4 press conference
he was responding to questions about those specific images. His May 7
testimony, where he refers to this as out-and-out torture, refers to the
full set of un-doctored, uncropped photos that Rumsfeld testified he
only saw late on the evening of May 6 (and Rumsfeld testified he still
hadn't see this video which apparently shows a Iraqi guards raping a
male minor while being videotaped by U.S. authorities).
