Sexual humiliation, waterboarding, and the use of dogs were but a few of the innumerable cruel crimes perpetrated by the U.S. military at the Abu Ghraib prison and Guantanamo Bay detainment camps. The alleged subsequent cover-up within the DoD only further betrayed Rumsfeld’s authorization of and apathy towards the brutal mistreatment of foreign fugitives...
