You're right. As the transcript above shows (and I saw the actual program and the transcript doesn't really do his stumbling justice) MoveOn's editing actually made Rumsfeld look a little better. If they'd let it go for 10 more seconds we'd have seen that Rumsfeld was desperately trying to figure out what to say, and finally solved it by talking as though the offending quotes had never been mentioned.
