Marjorie Cohn | Torture Used to Link Saddam With 9/11
Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "It turns out that high Bush officials put
heavy pressure on Pentagon interrogators to get Mohammed and Zubaydah to
reveal a link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 hijackers, in order to
justify Bush's illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq in 2003. That link
was never established."

General Who Probed Abu Ghraib Says Bush Officials Committed War Crimes
Warren Strobel, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Army general who led the
investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison accused the
Bush administration Wednesday of committing 'war crimes' and called for
those responsible to be held to account. The remarks by Maj. Gen. Antonio
Taguba, who's now retired, came in a new report that found that US personnel
tortured and abused detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
using beatings, electrical shocks, sexual humiliation and other cruel
practices."
