Rumsfeld on Abu Ghraib Torture: "Make Sure This Is Accomplished"

@ 05:11 PM (21 months, 4 days ago)

Well color me surprised here!  I'm just shocked, I tell you!  (NOT!)  Former U.S. Army Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, who ran Abu Ghraib prison until early in 2004, revealed to a Spanish newspaper that Donald Rumsfeld ordered the mistreatment (read: torture) of detainees at Abu Ghraib.

Karpinski told the El Pais newspaper that Rummy signed a memorandum that detailed the harsh interrogation tactics, and in the margin of the memo, wrote a note which said "Make sure that this is accomplished."

Rumsfeld okayed abuses says former U.S. general
