In this continuing human rights debacle, how can anyone still be out there that does not believe these programs of abuse did not go all of the way to the top? I'm still wondering how stupid Ashcroft thinks the American public is when he claims that "this administration rejects torture" when that simply is not the case. Why would they spend so much time working on legal clarification of torture if they did not intend to use it? Aschroft has absolutely no credibility left, especially following his recent FEAR ALERT on TV. It's no wonder Americans are not paying attention to the economy because these criminals are ruining US credibility around the world and making us weaker by the day. As an American businessman who lives and works overseas, I have never seen such destructive policy. Bush and his bandits make international business painfully difficult and this bleeding will not stop until the whole lot of them are gone.
"John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban, was stripped naked and tied to a stretcher during interrogation after the office of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ordered intelligence officers to "take the gloves off" when questioning him.
Mr Rumsfeld's legal counsel instructed the officers to push the limits when questioning Lindh..." - Independent
