aREDSKIN Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Originally posted by thew According to the Seymore Hersh's article however the torture was a technique approved early in the war on terror to be used exclusively against high level Al Quada targets. It was later changed to include Iraqi detainee's and POW's by the under sec of defense after it had proven so effective with the AlQuada captives. Please substantiate this assertion. How can an USD change a legal act ( torture of Al Queda operatives) to an illegal( torture of Iraqi Army combatants) act by himself? That just dosen't seem to be possible.
