Asked what he thought about his Secretary of Defense violating Geneva Conventions and other international humanitarian laws by hiding an Iraqi prisoner from the Red Cross, President Bush said: "I'm never disappointed in my secretary of defense. He's doing a fabulous job and America's lucky to have him in the position he's in."
Is America lucky to have a defense secretary who tells Congress one thing under oath -- then does another? From the DCCC blog:
Rumsfeld, under oath before the Senate, 5/13/2004: "Any instructions that have been issued or anything that's been authorized by the department was checked by the lawyers and deemed to be consistent with the Geneva Conventions."
