Rumsfeld's inability to answer Senator McCain's three simple questions about who was in charge of the interrogation, who was supervising those in charge, and what their instructions were, is symptomatic of a deeper problem, that Senator Byrd correctly characterized as the arrogance of power.
Very out of context here. The three “simple†questions burrow deep inside a little thing called National Security. Balk at this all you will, but was Rumsfeld at liberty to divulge the identities of these people and detail their instructions? Likely not.
And about "slapping them [prisoners] around a bit"? Nice dig, but "slapping" is not what anyone is being charged with.
