Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been stripped of legal immunity for acts of torture against US citizens authorized while he was in office. The ruling shed new light on Rumsfeld as he began his book tour this week with a visit to Boston. New, uncensored photos of Abu Ghraib have sparked fresh outrage across Internet. Awareness is growing that Bush-era crimes went far beyond mere waterboarding. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters in 2004 of photos withheld by the Defense Department from Abu Ghraib, "The American public needs to understand, we're talking about rape and murder here...We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience. We're talking about rape and murder and some very serious charges." And journalist Seymour Hersh says: "Boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has." Major General Antonio Taguba, who led the official Army investigation into Abu Ghraib, said in his report: "There is no longer any doubt as to whether the [Bush] administration has committed war crimes. The only question is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account."
