Lie, Correct, Repeat...

Rumsfeld Lies About Torture Interrogations:

'I have not seen anything thus far that says that the people abused were abused in the process of interrogating them or for interrogation purposes.'

A few hours later he added that "all of the press, all of the television thus far that tried to link the abuse that took place to interrogation techniques in Iraq has not yet been demonstrated."

In fact at least 13 of 44 instances of abuse involved interrogations or the interrogation process.

A Pentagon spokesman later explained Rumsfeld's bald-faced lies: "He misspoke, pure and simple. But he corrected himself."

Did the word "mis-spoke" even exist four years ago?
