A Senate investigation unveiled today found that senior Pentagon officials began planning to use abusive tactics at Guantánamo Bay earlier than they previously acknowledged, borrowing from a programme that trained US troops to resist cruel interrogations.
New documents disclosed today show that lawyers in the army, navy and marines objected vigorously to the use of violent methods against detainees but were overruled by aides to the former US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.
And let me add that Rummy also warned by the Red Cross of the cruelty to detainees.

Time for the United Nations to charge the Bush Administration with War Crimes. If they don't look for other countries to follow the Bush policy.
