"In an odd way,â Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, said, âthe sexual abuses at Abu Ghraib have become a diversion for the prisoner abuse and the violation of the Geneva Conventions that is authorized.â Since September 11th, Roth added, the military has systematically used third-degree techniques around the world on detainees. âSome jags hate this and are horrified that the tolerance of mistreatment will come back and haunt us in the next war,â Roth told me. âWeâre giving the world a ready-made excuse to ignore the Geneva Conventions. Rumsfeld has lowered the bar.â
