The abuse of Iraqi prisoners result from a decision approved by Rumsfeld in 2003
The abuse by U.S. soldiers of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison were the result of a decision approved in secret last year by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, reported Saturday the weekly New Yorker. “
The decision of Mr. Rumsfeld sought to “extend the boundaries of a highly secret program, originally intended to hunt Al-Qaeda to interrogagoires of prisoners in Iraq,” revealed the New Yorker citing intelligence officers active and retired.
These officers were told that this program “encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners in a bid to get more information about the insurgency that is gaining ground in Iraq.”
This decision has been prepared by Stephen Cambone, undersecretary of defense for intelligence, and approved by Mr. Rumsfeld and the Chief of Staff Richard Myers.
“The solution endorsed by Rumsfeld and Stephen Cambone applied provides for harsher treatment against Iraqis detained on suspicion of being involved in the insurgency,” wrote the weekly.
After opening a military investigation on Abu Ghraib in January, it was decided to submit an official version of events does not mention the secret program, said the New Yorker.
