Did Rumsfeld order Abu Ghraib rough stuff?

General reveals secret memo on 'aggressive' interrogations

The general formerly in charge of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison claims she was ordered to institute "more aggressive" forms of interrogation of prisoners including "hooding" and "stress positions."

During an interview on the "America At Night" nationally syndicated radio talk show, Brig. Gen. Janice Karpinski said she viewed a memo signed by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, which listed those techniques.

In the margin of the memo, she said, there was a handwritten note that said: "Make sure this happens."

Karpinski said it appeared to be in the same handwriting as Donald Rumsfeld's signature on the document. A copy of the memo was sent to Gen. Geoffrey Miller, then the head of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, who had visited Abu Ghraib for 10 days prior to the controversy about prison abuse.
