"Sorry about mistreating you while you were in prison," said Rumsfield in a televised press conference. "Also, sorry about the whole invading your country thing," he said. Rumsfield ended the statement by tapping his chest, saying "my bad", and flashing a peace sign. The abused Iraqi prisoners were unavailable for comment. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Michael Cash "I am sorry, Mr. Cash, but we are unable to accept your rap sheet in lieu of a high school transcript."
