Two decades after , a nominee is dismissing laws incorporating even before he's confirmed.

at least blurted out a word salad on national TV about conduct. Trump won't even deign to do that.

The Road to Abu Ghraib
Introduction

Since late April 2004, when the first photographs appeared of U.S. military personnel humiliating, torturing, and otherwise mistreating detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, the United States government has repeatedly sought to portray the abuse as an isolated incident, the work of a few "bad apples" acting without orders. On May 4, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, in a formulation that would be used over and over again by U.S. officials, described the abuses at Abu Ghraib as "an exceptional, isolated" case. In a nationally televised address on May 24, President George W. Bush spoke of "disgraceful conduct by a few American troops who dishonored our country and disregarded our values."

In fact, the only exceptional aspect of the abuse at Abu Ghraib may have been that it was photographed. Detainees in U.S. custody in Afghanistan have testified that they experienced treatment similar to what happened in Abu Ghraib -- from beatings to prolonged sleep and sensory deprivation to being held naked -- as early as 2002. Comparable -- and, indeed, more extreme -- cases of torture and inhuman treatment have been extensively documented by the International Committee of the Red Cross and by journalists at numerous locations in Iraq outside Abu Ghraib.

The #BushAdministration generally and #Rumsfeld’s #DepartmentOfDefense fiercely opposed competence during the #IraqWar. The most competent members of the administration, #ColinPowell (the only cabinet member with actual war experience and to boot a successful war *in Iraq* which even a minimally competent person—though clearly not #Dubya—might recognize as relevant) and #CondoleezzaRice were sidelined and their departments made subservient to the #DOD.

The Bush Administration generally and Paul Wolfowitz specifically was so obsessed with finding a justification to invade Iraq that they demanded repeatedly that the CIA investigate increasingly absurd connections between Iraq and Al Qaeda. #iraqwar #bushadministration #cia #alqaeda #dickcheney #scooterlibby #donaldrumsfeld #unitedstates

@jalefkowit @Holberg Contrast that with, say, #DonaldRumsfeld. The mystery of his rapid accretion of wealth still fascinates me.

Pentagonchef Donald Rumsfeld war das Gesicht der US-Kriege unter George W. Bush. Jetzt ist der Republikaner im Alter von 88 Jahren gestorben. Zum Tod von Donald Rumsfeld: Der zynische Kriegstreiber

No, #DonaldRumsfeld deserves no kind obituaries. A lying mass murderer who set the Middle East on fire, destroying millions of lives. A torturer also, lest we forget. All of it, for nothing more than greed.
