More torture, different prison
The NYTimes has this giant article about another "detention facility" in Iraq where massive prisoner abuse has taken place, and detainees were withheld from the Red Cross, Camp Nama. The abuse at Camp Nama continued long after the military "re-examined its detention policies" after Abu Ghraib.
There has been no accountability for the actions taken by Task Force 6 - 26, who undertook these measures in their assignment to find and capture Zarqawi. Once again, the "few bad apples" argument of Abu Ghraib abuts reality. My guess is that these guys were allowed to skate because previously, there has been no publicly released information on this.
And, by the way, torture fans, have we caught Zarqawi yet? After all, that was the justification for this abuse.

It's just further evidence of policy. It's further indicators pointing up the chain. In sexual harrassment cases, for instance, a company can be sued for the work environment.
I think we're looking at something similar. Even if Rumsfeld didn't say hang them from the ceiling for 12 hours, the environment in which this went unaltered is his fault.
