Iraq: Torture / Human Rights Abuse - 17 May 2004

Possible Rumsfeld Green Light To Torture

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said that US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and one of his top aides authorized the expansion of a secret program that permitted "harsh interrogations". Hersh's account, derived from "several past and present American intelligence officials," said the expansion of the "special access program" allowed authorities in charge of Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to engage in degrading and sexually humiliating practices. The Pentagon strongly denied that they had sanctioned the interrogation program.

Activists from the DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) converged on the studios of CBS, at 2020 M Street NW on Sunday, 16th May, to demonstrate against the war and against the prison abuses directed by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Activists applauded New Yorker writer Seymour Hersh while holding signs before press cameras. After CBS, individuals marched on Rumsfeld's House.
