More than 100,000 pages were finally released under the Freedom of Information act and the result is the book Administration of Torture . In this book General Micheal Dunlavery reports that President Bush gave him "marching orders" to have the Pentagon approve harsher interrogation methods for use at Guantanamo.
The book sources an Army investigator reporting that Rumsfeld was "personally involved" in overseeing the interrogation of a Guantanamo prisoner Mohammed al Qahtani. The prisoner was forced to parade naked in front of female interrogators wearing women's underwear on his head and was led around on a leash while being forced to perform dog tricks.
“It is imperative that senior officials who authorized, endorsed, or tolerated the abuse and torture of prisoners be held accountable not only as a matter of elemental justice, but to ensure that the same crimes are not perpetrated again.”--Jameel Jaffer and Amrit Singh
I wonder if the Democratic Congress is going to continue to do nothing but give us lip service now that the torture has been traced all the way to Rumsfeld and Bush. Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone would at least start the impeachment hearings. If these were started it would be difficult (if not impossible) for Bush and Cheney to invade Iran and/or impose martial law in the United States.
If our Congress continues to refuse to act maybe the World Court will mete out the justice that is necessary to restore some balance of power in our world...and maybe some in Congress will also be held to account.....
Buzz...Buzz....
