Excerpt
Former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was confronted last week by students from Stanford University, who were questioning her about certain actions from the Bush administration.
Rice upholds that certain policies carried out by the Bush administration were not policies at all. The abuses from Abu Ghraib, in which Iraqi prisoners were tortured, is said by Rice not to have been a policy, according to Harper’s Magazine. A report from the U.S. Senate says the policy decisions made came from the National Security Council, which at the time were run by Rice.
U.S. combatants were captured and detained at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba after the Sept. 11 attacks. It has been said that torture went on there. However, Rice claims that the camp was a “model medium security prison,” as also said in a report by the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe. The same OSCE report deemed what happened at the camp “mental torture.”
The Red Cross performed two studies about the camp, concluding in the first study that the treatment of the prisoners was “tantamount to torture.” In the second, they observed the use of the Bush Program and determined it was torture.
Rice maintains that waterboarding is not torture and not illegal, because President George W. Bush allowed it.
