Report: Rumsfeld approved operation that led to Iraqi prisoner abuse
I wish I had more time to expound on this article tonight, but I don't. So, here are a few choice clips from an Associated Press story:
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the expansion of a secret program that encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners to obtain intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq, The New Yorker reported Saturday."
"The program got approval from President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, and Bush was informed of its existence."
No wonder they seemed more outraged by the photos than the actions.
