We now know that the torture of prisoners was the result of a policy set in the White House by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Rice – who actually chaired the torture meetings. The Pentagon has also acknowledged that it had authorized sexualized abuse of detainees as part of interrogation practices to be performed by female operatives.
现在我们知道对罪犯的折磨是白宫的前国防部长唐纳德·拉姆斯菲尔德，副总统迪克·切尼以及赖斯－她实际上主持折磨会议－在白宫制定的政策的结果。五角大楼也承认它授权女性特工可以用对被关押人员进行性虐待作为审问活动的一部分。并且，美国民权同盟取得的材料显示，拉姆斯菲尔德，用他自己的话说，要对囚犯的性羞辱进行“登记”。
