I turned off the TV when their retired Army spokeman gave praise to Hersh and said Rumsfield is in for more trouble in the Senate.

What kind of trouble? (I hit the mute button)

Hersh has said it was Rumsfield's frustration over all the red tape when we needed info from prisoners in the field(Afghanistan) that led to this prison abuse. He allowed looser restrictions...or some such...It created the climate..yada yada..(The Geneva conventions apply to uniformed soldiers is my understanding)...

I want some of the Senators to walk the Guantanamo cells and be showered with excrement and urine for day or two.

There's a thread on it...
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and one of his top aides authorized the expansion of a secret program that permitted harsh interrogations of detained members of Al Qaeda, allowing these methods to be used against prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to an article in The New Yorker.The article, by Seymour M. Hersh
