Meanwhile President Bush called Rumsfeld “a really good secretary of defense” and said “he will stay in my Cabinet.” Bush’s comments came during a mid-day appearance in the White House Rose Garden alongside Jordan’s King Abdullah where Bush apologized for the first time about the abuse of Iraqis in U.S.-run jails in Iraq. He said he was “sorry for the humiliation that was suffered by the Iraqi prisoners” and said the revelations were a “stain on our country’s honor and our country’s reputation.” According to the Washington Post, Bush’s advisors had urged the president to apologize on Wednesday during his interviews with Arab-language television networks, but for some reason the president did not.
