Jun. 18, 2007 | "I thought they wanted to know. I assumed they wanted to know. I was ignorant of the setting." -- Retired Army Maj. Gen Antonio Taguba, who tells Seymour Hersh that the Pentagon forced him into early retirement because his report on the abuses at Abu Ghraib told Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and others more than they wanted to hear.
