Rumsfeld: I should have quit after Abu Ghraib

Former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld said his biggest mistake during his six years in the Pentagon was not resigning after shocking photos of the treatment of Iraqi inmates by American soldiers at Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison were published.

The New York Times and The Washington Post published articles about Mr Rumsfeld’s forthcoming autobiography, 'Known And Unknown', based on copies they obtained before its release next Tuesday.
