Rumsfeld Lies Without Even Being Tortured
Submitted on February 17th, 2005 by Benjamin Melançon"The detention facility upgrades, I am told, that you see in the budget for Guantanamo, are to meet Geneva Convention standards," Rumsfeld said.
"And since," Rumsfeld continued, "it's not knowable how long they will be there, what we are doing is carrying out a US government policy that exists and trying to do it to the best extent it can be done," he said.
Now that's a tortured statement if I ever saw one. The Geneva Conventions, which the U.S. government still argues does not apply to the people it is holding at Guntánamo, are now being used to ask for more money to pour into the hell-hole to hold people (without trial) for unknown periods of time.
