Rice makes an apology for the torture: In an interview with the al Arabiya television network, a regional network broadcast from the United Arab Emirates, Rice expressed sorrow about the treatment of the Iraqi detainees and said the United States regrets the humiliation caused to Iraqi detainees and their families. "The American president is reacting because no American wants to be associated with any dehumanizations now of the Iraqi people. We are deeply sorry for what has happened to these people and what the families must be feeling. It's just not right. And we will get to the bottom of what happened," Rice said. And Bush is "shaken": In a rare expression of disappointment with any aspect of the war in Iraq, President Bush told a group of regional reporters yesterday that he was "shaken" by the reports of prisoner abuse in Iraq "because I know this doesn't reflect the values of our country."
