WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Despite highly publicized charges of U.S. mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo, the head of the Amnesty International USA said on Sunday the group doesn't "know for sure" that the military is running a "gulag."
Executive Director William Schulz said Amnesty, often cited worldwide for documenting human rights abuses, also did not know whether Secretary Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld approved severe torture methods such as beatings and starvation.
Schulz recently dubbed Rumsfeld an "apparent high-level architect of torture" in asserting he approved interrogation methods that violated international law.
"It would be fascinating to find out. I have no idea," Schulz told "Fox News Sunday."
Huh? Not sure? Great googily-moogily, he's not sure. I know what it was, the wing-nuts have gotten away with any and all allegations for so long that the truth no longer matters to them. If it sounds like it could be true, well, then lets get it out there. How can they ignore the fact that their constant running-down of the US effort is giving hope to those who would destroy us? (and costing American lives)
