Rumsfeld Takes Blame, Says He Won't Resign

Senate Panel Grills Defense Chief Over Iraqi Prisoner Abuse

POSTED: 8:03 a.m. EDT May 7, 2004
UPDATED: 3:54 p.m. EDT May 7, 2004

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld opened his Senate panel testimony Friday by apologizing for the abuse of Iraqi detainees by American guards and suggested they should be compensated for their suffering.
<snip>
"I would not resign simply because people try to make a political issue out of it," he said in pointed rebuttal to the many Democrats who have called on him to step down.

5. no, not you

the other article that's up on Rummy's testimony. If the poster doesn't fix his headline before the editing time limit is up, that one's going to get locked. If he does, this one is going to get locked, so we don't have two stories on the same thing.

8. ummm...am a bit confused...

Edited on Fri May-07-04 03:32 PM by Angel_O_Peace

Tellurian has posted Rummy may resign, no link (or is a scrubbed story...), and I've posted a different story with the exact headline and accurate link. Am confused as to why these are considered the smae story when each post reflects a different story re: Rumsfeld and resignation.
Just wondering. Thanks in advance for explaining this to me.
