Proof: Rumsfeld Ordered Torture

Time has obtained a GITMO interrogation report (authenticated by the Pentagon) proving that Rumsfeld personally authorized torture including the apparent use of attack dogs to terrify at least one detainee.  He now must be tried as a war criminal.  One small part follows.

"On Dec. 2, Rumsfeld approved 16 of 19 stronger coercive methods. Now the interrogators could use stress strategies like standing for prolonged periods, isolation for as long as 30 days, removal of clothing, forced shaving of facial hair, playing on "individual phobias" (such as dogs) and "mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the chest with the finger and light pushing." According to the log, al-Qahtani experienced several of those over the next five weeks."

The rest of the article shows that Rumsfeld's directions to create an environment of torture were carried out with sickening creativity.   Read the whole thing and you'll be even more horrified.
