Rumsfeld OK'd harsh treatment: "Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld approved interrogation techniques that included 'removal of clothing' and 'inducing stress by use of detainee's fears (e.g. dogs).'
Rumsfeld also approved placing detainees in 'stress positions,' such as standing for up to 4 hours, though he apparently found this approach unimpressive. Rumsfeld, who works at a stand-up desk, scrawled on the memo, 'I stand for 8-10 hours a day. Why is standing limited to four hours? D.R.'"
