(Updates with Jazeera remarks paragraphs 2,4, previous SINGAPORE)

DUBAI, June 4 (Reuters) - The Arab TV channel Al Jazeera rejected on Saturday as unfounded U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's accusations that it was encouraging Islamic militant groups by airing beheadings of foreign hostages in Iraq. "Al Jazeera ... has never at any time transmitted pictures of killings or beheadings and ... any talk about this is absolutely unfounded," the television said in a statement.

The channel voiced "deep regret and surprise" over Rumsfeld's remarks.

Rumsfeld earlier said:

"If anyone lived in the Middle East and watched a network like the Al Jazeera day after day after day, even if he was an American, he would start waking up and asking what's wrong.

But America is not wrong.

"It's the people who are going on television chopping off people's heads, that is wrong,"

he told a security conference in Singapore.

"And television networks that carry it and promote it and jump on the spark every time there is a terrorist act are promoting the acts," he said.

1. It's crazy world....

like Bush admitting to propaganda the other day.

Probably Al Jazeera covered that, too.

2. I wonder if that is one of his

"known" knowns, or one of his
"known" unknowns, or one of his
"unknown" knowns?
I'd say he doesn't know WHAT the hell he's saying!

3. That's the point.

He never really says anything.

[Disturbed]

4. He doesn't care what he says

because there is no chance that he will get fired or indicted for his War Crimes.


Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumsfeld also admitted to signing orders for tougher interogation methods which violated the Geneva Conventions.

Rumfailed has commited at least three violations of the Geneva Convention thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.


Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

6. Ha, Ha, Ha, Justice Department, That's a good one...

...It's just sad how Orwellian :crazy:"The Department of Justice" sounds now after 5 years of these Criminals running our Government. :evilgrin: :cry:

10. Like 'Defense Department' instead of WAR Department. Orwell lives...n/t

5. i don't know if al-jezeera does or not

but if they do not air such things, then maybe rummy has been listening to limbaugh too much--i'm sure this is something he spouts off about--you know, he opens his mouth and pukes out more lies (and he's heard on our tax-payer funded radio station we play for the soldiers in iraq)

edit to add:
(psst: if you haven't signed the letter
do it now.
do it for your country.
do it for john.

7. When I think of Rummy, all I see is this

[Up2Late]

8. Ah, those where the days.....

The BBC is going to have to do another best of Rumsfeld, starting with this one.:evilgrin:

[lyonn]

9. No one ever taught Rummy how to run a war

let along plan one, heck, he never was in one. Guess it just comes natural for him with his brilliant mind. sarcasm of course.

[TheFarseer]

11. He didn't mean it like that

He meant you would get the "wrong idea"

[mzteris]

12. Sounds like a Freudian slip, to me.

"Rumsfeld earlier said:
"If anyone lived in the Middle East and watched a network like the Al Jazeera day after day after day, even if he was an American, HE WOULD START WAKING UP AND ASKING WHAT's WRONG."

13. But was he frosted?
