As if the news regarding Rummy couldn't get worse for him, we have a new article by Salon.com indicating that he personally approved the use of forced nudity, stress positions and the removal of religious items against prisoners in Guantanamo.
Additionally, the document, obtained by Salon through the FOIA, discusses his weekly calls to Gitmo in order to discuss the interrogation of a "high value Al-Qaeda detainee", Mohammed al-Kahtani, who according to Army investigators have called "degrading and abusive" treatment by soldiers who were following the interrogation plan Rumsfeld had approved.
