Rumsfeld lied again

I miss the good ol’ days when the American public would get mad when they were lied to :

The Baghdad bunker which the United States said it bombed on the opening night of the Iraq war in a bid to kill Saddam Hussein never existed, CBS Evening News reported Wednesday.

The network quoted a U.S. Army colonel in charge of inspecting key sites in Baghdad as saying no trace of a bunker or of bodies had been found at the site on the southern outskirts of the Iraqi capital, known as Dora Farms.
. . .
Shortly after the attack, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters: “There’s no question but that the strike on that leadership headquarters was successful. We have photographs of what took place. The question is, what was in there?”

I’m sure this is just another “matter of emphasis”. In this case they chose to emphasize bullshit over the truth.
