Rumsfeld: Worst Still To Come

Pentagon Boss Apologizes To Iraqis; Says More Videos, Photos Exist

May 7, 2004

(CBS/AP) Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld offered "my deepest apology" Friday to Iraqi prisoners abused by sadistic military personnel and warned that videos and photos yet to come could further inflame worldwide outrage.

"It's going to get a good deal more terrible, I'm afraid," he said glumly in congressional testimony televised throughout the Arab world as well as in the United States.

Thus far, no videos of abusive treatment have reached the public. But still photographs, first aired last week on CBS News' "60 Minutes II" have spawned a worldwide wave of revulsion that has damaged America's image overseas and sparked a political storm at home.

He said the Iraqis who were mistreated will receive compensation.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters, "The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape and murder here. we're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience." He did not elaborate.

The fact that he seemed to be taking on Abu Ghraib and the WH.

Unfortunately, he NEVER elaborated.
