Pentagon Denial?

i was re-reading the pentagon denial posted a few links below. it concerns the new yorker piece that uncovered rumsfeld's greenlight to the interrogation methods which ended up being used and documented in iraq.

The official condemnation statement (As of now) reads:

"Assertions apparently being made in the latest New Yorker article on Abu Ghraib and the abuse of Iraqi detainees are outlandish, conspiratorial, and filled with error and anonymous conjecture."

notice there wasn't an actual denial in there? they said the report had errors in it and attacked the nature of the report but did not deny the root accusaions.

Mr. Mooch says he's keeping his eyes open for you on this one dear readers.
