Today Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the West Point graduation ceremony.

The Associated Press lead paragraph:

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, making no mention of the prisoner-abuse scandal that has led to calls for his ouster, told a cheering crowd of graduating cadets Saturday that they will help win the global fight against terrorism.

Other things the Secretary of Defense didn't mention in his speech:

• The terrorist hostage-taking in Saudi Arabia.
• The report that former NFL star turned Army Ranger Pat Tillman may have been killed by "friendly-fire."
• The news that four U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.
• The dedication of the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C.
• The relative prospects of pennant wins for the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox.
• The price of tea in China.

The press continues to behave like a bunch of drug-addicted hamsters.

See Rumsfeld. Push Abu Ghraib button. Receive praise from the liberal media. Repeat.
