Well no, not really. He backs some interrogation techniques used in Iraq, but not the one's that have become infamous in the photos. You'd never know that from this AP headline, though:

Rumsfeld Backs Iraq Interrogation Methods

Note that Rumsfeld, "defended military interrogation techniques in Iraq," not ALL the techniques.

The press has simply become unhinged in their political agenda. They don't give a damn what damage they do or how many Americans' lives they put at risk. Has the entire press corps gone on The Guardian's payroll?

Oh, apparently the Boston Globe did publish porn pictures, though.

Boston Globe publishes bogus GI rape pictures - Taken from pornographic website as first reported by WorldNetDaily

I missed my Globe today, but I can't wait to see it when I get back to my office tomorrow. If these are the same crap (and obviously fake) pictures that have been kicking around the anti-US nutball side of the internet since the invasion of Afghanistan I'm gonna lose my lunch. These people are so anxious to do damage they've thrown basic fact-checking out the door.

I just heard Kambone on the radio. What a despicable character. He's sticking by the photos. He had excuses and placement of responsibility on everyone, everyone but himself. I kid you not. He started out talking about how these photos brought back in his mind images of the treatment of black women since the times of slavery, how they released them because the Bush Administration wasn't forthcoming enough, how we've been given that there are worse pictures coming out, how he was given them by a source he trusts, how they haven't been proven false to him yet...every single thing by way of avoiding admitting he had some responsibility himself. Of that, not one word.

It's just...infuriating.

Update: Followed the link at Instapundit, over to this very good piece at JunkYardBlog where you can find a scan of the Globe page (Here is the online article - to its credit, the article is skeptical about the photos, but that's not enough. The pictures aren't the story. The story is what these two irresponsible charlatans - Kambone and City Councilor Taylor - tried to pull off.). Yup, they sure as hell look like the same crap pictures that have been floating around since forever. Just amazing.
