WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday there has always been a risk
Iraq could slip into a civil war but he accused the news media of exaggerating
the severity of the current situation.
"I do not believe they're in a civil war today," Rumsfeld told a Pentagon briefing.
"There's always been a potential for a civil war.
That country was held together through a repressive regime that put hundreds of
thousands of human beings into mass graves."
"It was held together not by a constitution, not by a piece of paper, not by respect
for your fellow citizens of different religious faiths.
But it was held together through force and viciousness," Rumsfeld added.
