Details were not included because those discussions within the DoD were already reported by numerous news services. Your were expected to know basic news reports or then first ask for details before accusing. I cannot be sure which news services reported that day, since I had listened to Bloomsberg, CBS, and BBC. But later that day, Rumsfeld was asked about those discussions already reported by the press. I never mentioned any of this because you are responsible for knowing basic news reports, or then simply asking for details.

I'm not interested in the particulars of how the torture misinformation came to light, and I'm not trying to accuse you. I'm simply noting that when you intentionally leave out half of a story, you lose credibility.
Instead, give all the facts and let people make informed decisions. You have a lot of good points, so there is no need to obscure the whole picture to try to prove a point.
Another example quote: "I don't remember which news service (maybe Bloomberg) reported that only 2 nations out of 57 condemn suicide bombings." I'm sure what you meant to say was, "only 2 nations out of 57
Arab nations condemn suicide bombings".
See how that changes the meaning somewhat?
