More Evidence Rummy "doesn't know what the hell he's talking about"

[Sparkly]

In case you missed this part of the press conference with General Pace (in which Rummy also had his so-called "epiphany" about the term "insurgents"):

At another point in their news conference, Rumsfeld and Pace had an unusual exchange in which Rumsfeld corrected his senior military adviser, only to have Pace gently insist that it was the defense secretary who was wrong.

A reporter asked Pace what U.S. commanders in Iraq are supposed to do if they find Iraqi forces abusing prisoners. Pace replied that if inhumane treatment is observed it is a service member's duty to stop it.

"I don't think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it — it's to report it," Rumsfeld said, turning to Pace.

Replied the general: "If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it."

the "independence" of the military commanders.

Luckily, rummmy's ego is only a third of Cheney's and a fifth of Bushie's.
