"Yeah"
"Well, it turns out he was killed by our own guys"

I hate Rummy as much as the next guy, but I don't think he would have been nor should he have been involved in these affairs. It was an Army matter. The Army should have taken care of it properly. Rumsfeld should deal with the wars on a whole not every incident with every single soldier. That is not his job. He probably said something like "let me know how the investigation turns out and figure out who to punish", but beyond that I don't expect him to know anything and when I saw that they were going to interview him on this matter I thought how pointless that was, because it is not something he should be dealing with that intimately.
