U.S. News U.S. judge rules Rumsfeld, others immune to torture lawsuit

A district court has detailed the torture of 9 US prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan but ruled former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and 3 high-ranking officers immune from prosecution. The 5 Iraqis and 4 Afghans – none ever charged with a crime – were found to lack US constitutional rights. The abuse authorized by Rumsfeld and sometimes taking place in the presence of the 3 officers included being hung upside-down and slapped unconscious, stabbed, electrically shocked, deprived of sleep, grabbed by dogs and sexually humiliated.
