Top Bush Officials Linked to Torture Per Senate Report

WASHINGTON - Former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other senior officials were directly responsible for the abusive interrogations of detainees in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and Afghanistan, a Senate report released Thursday concluded. The report by a bipartisan panel of the Senate Armed Services Committee is a searing critique of the US military's interrogation techniques and the officials who allowed the abuse to take place. The administration of President George W Bush has consistently denied that the United States subjects detainees to torture or abuse, but has conceded that it does use tough interrogations to extract information from suspected terrorists about other possible plots. "The abuse of detainees in US custody cannot simply be attributed to the actions of "a few bad apples," acting on their own," the report, issued jointly by Democrat Carl Levin and Republican John McCain - a prisoner of war who was tortured in North Vietnam - said.
