You (yes, you) need to read Seymour Hersh's latest report on Abu Ghraib in this week's New Yorker. Rumsfeld and the top military leadership knew about the treatment of prisoners at the prison, and they lied about it to Congress. The White House repeatedly failed to provide clear guidance on prisoner treatment and interrogation to military and intelligence personnel, while putting intense pressure on them to extract and deliver information. Gee, I wonder what message that sent.

This administration's callous indifference to human dignity disgusts me.
