This also seems to be proven wrong, acording to the latest news.
It seems Rummsfeld signed a secret order, allowing the inteligence agencies both civilian and military, to use thougher methods of interrogation.
There´s a lot of sources claiming this, sources with high credibility and reputation. But the Bush administration isn´t having any.
If it turns out to be confirmed that Rummsfeld DID infact sign that paper, then he have proof that the use of torture is a State sponsored affair. At least under Bush´s rule.
