So says the Pentagon, in face of charges that Rumsfeld ordered a prisoner hidden from the Red Cross. Not so ambivalent is General Taguba, who "said efforts to hide prisoners from the Red Cross were “deceptive” and a “violation of international law.”"

Of course, Ashcroft's Department of Justice has been working on a legal justification of torture, though he refuses to release the memos to Congress, which ought to earn him contempt of Congress since we the people, in the form of our representatives, deserve to know what's going on. A similar memo from the Defense Department has already been leaked.

I'm trying to remember... we're the good guys, right?
