Rumsfeld Defends Secretly Holding Suspect
By MATT KELLEY
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld defended his decision to hold a prisoner captured in Iraq without notifying international authorities, saying it was at the request of CIA Director George J. Tenet and the detainee was treated humanely.
"He wasn't lost in the system," Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon. "There is no question at all ... that he received humane treatment."
The terror suspect has been held since October without being given an identification number and without the International Committee of the Red Cross being notified, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said. Both conditions violate the Geneva Accords on treatment of prisoners of war
________________________________
so the joke goes:
Rumsfield gets Tenet to quit. When Tenet left, he also mailed 2 letters to Rumsfield. On one is written: "Open when u find urself in trouble the 1st time" the 2nd one has written on it "Open when u find urself in trouble the next time">
Well, it happened that one day Rumsfield gets caught havin knowledge that we intentionally violated thet Geneva conventions & he opened the 1st letter. On the letter, in the middle, were the words:
"Blame me for everything."
So he did. He also decidd, since the 1st letter was so simple, witty, & helpful, that he'd preview the 2nd letter. When he opened it, the words read: "Sit down and write two letters."
