Rumsfeld says sorry but warns of more photos

US DEFENCE Secretary Donald Rumsfeld yesterday apologised for the "fundamentally un-American" abuse of Iraqi prisoners and warned that more horrific pictures of mistreatment were still to come.

Mr Rumsfeld took full responsibility for the "grievous and brutal abuse and cruelty", saying it happened "on my watch".

But he brushed aside Democratic demands for his resignation. Asked if he could remain effective in his post, he said if he believed he could not, "I'd resign in a minute".
