[rodeodance]

5. Pentagon 'mood' saying "I told you so" but Rummy being "circumspect"

11. Tweety asking if Arab world will believe the apology (obviously

Tweety accepts the I am sorry from Newsweek)

[autorank]

8. "Nobody here at the Pent> could categorically deny that it did not occur"

In NewsSpeak this means, they really want to deny it but they're afraid that there is so much evidence someone can prove it very quickly.
