Rumsfeld On Abandoning Geneva: 'All Of A Sudden, It Was Just All Happening'
Justin Elliott | July 3, 2009, 6:03PM
Donald Rumsfeld has finally said he's sorry. Sort of.
In an interview with biographer Bradley Graham, the former secretary of defense says he has regrets about the administration's controversial detainee policy.
The twist is that Rumsfeld doesn't regret the policy itself -- specifically the abandoning of the Geneva Conventions for detainees picked up in Afghanistan. Rather, he regrets how the policy was formulated.
