US Magazine “The New Yorker” has claimed that
US DEFENCE Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorised the expansion of a secret programme encouraging physical coercion and sexual humiliation of prisoners to obtain intelligence in Iraq.
Naturally, someone from the pentagon was hot on the heels of this story, claiming it was “outlandish” and going off into a long-winded speech about conspiracy something or other.
It will of course come as no surprise that Bush was aware of the program’s existance.
So, the seven soldiers facing charges relating to abuse in Abu Ghraib prison… did they flip out or were they acting under orders?
