Feb 4, 2011 - Former U.S. Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said in his new autobiography, that the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib was perpetrated by rogue soldiers, but government documents point to policies made by senior officials in the Bush Administration including Rumsfeld himself, says the director of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"There were decisions made by Secretary Rumsfeld himself and by other members of the Bush cabinet to endorse torture to allow the use of interrogation methods that in the past the United States had regarded as war crimes," Jameel Jaffer said in an interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk on Friday.
As a result of those policies, detainees were subjected to torture at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and other U.S. run detention facilities across the world, he added.
Also "in [the] CIA, there were specific methods laid out to be used against prisoners in black sites in Europe."
"Government documents on the ACLU's website among many other places show quite clearly that there is clear connection between policy decisions and the abuse that took place at various detention centers," Jaffer noted. {continued}
