I watched the briefing and it appeared that they were talking different things and both were correct. If a military member knows about/suspects potential abuse by Iraqi soldiers...he reports it. If they are "physically present" while abuse is occurring...they are obligated to stop it.
General Pace is a fine Marine, but does not like to speak to the press. He and Rumsfeld were out of sync throughout the press briefing. Rumsfeld took my advice and said we would no longer call the terrorists "insurgents"...and Pace was so used to calling them that ...he just kept doing it (Bushlike)..then struggling to correct himself.
