I think Rumsfeld should condemn the abuse and should not condemn the reports about the abuse. Because the reports are made by reporters or military investigators.
Do you think the headline is proper in grammar?
Rumsfeld condemns abuse reports, defends reaction
WASHINGTON (AP) ?- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday condemned the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers as "totally unacceptable and un-American" and said the Pentagon would take all steps necessary to bring those responsible to justice.
No, it is an incorrect headline, for precisely the reason you adduce--Rummy is condemning the abuse, and not the reports.
