...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Among the defendants is Rumsfeld:

Agents reported seeing detainees with facial injuries, such as black eyes and cuts, and broken fingers.
The temperature of detention rooms were also kept either extremely hot or cold and loud music was played to deprive detainees of sleep while a few agents said they had seen prisoners wrapped with Israeli flags.
One detainee was seen laying unconscious in a sweltering, unventilated room after pulling out his hair, the documents said. The FBI said none of its agents were involved in the mistreatment, which it said was carried out by civilian security contractors or military personnel.

Reluctantly but steadily I'm gaining respect for at least some of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's men and women. This story, and other instances of similar testimony this past year about whatever and whoever's operating in Guantanamo; and especially seeing Ronald Olive on CSPAN's BookTV, whose PowerPoint slide of a cctv screen-grab of Jonathan Pollard's snatching secret documents in plain sight sits behind the flag photo above.
Olive was impressive for his self-control, considering how much outrage he also exhibited, and he seemed honest and straight-forward, and patriotic.
His book is called Capturing Jonathan Pollard.
