...Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld went before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees to explain his department’s role in the prisoner abuses exposed at Abu Ghraib.

...Rumsfeld was lying, or at least bending the truth. The Bush administration has long held—much to the dismay of the world—that militants fighting for international terror organizations such as Al Qaeda, are unlawful combatants, and thus not subject to the protections of any international agreements. Indeed, of the dozen non-Iraqis removed from Iraq, all of them reportedly had links to terror groups or had entered Iraq after the invasion in March 2003 to engage in terror or aid the insurgency.

...outrage that torture has been so widespread under Rumsfeld’s watch. Rumsfeld and the Bush administration must take responsibility for the dehumanizing acts that have taken place at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, and they must make sure that the use of torture has been completely and permanently stopped. As long as detainees’ rights are violated, we desecrate principles integral to our American identity—the same principles that we are supposed to be defending by waging a war on terror...
