WASHINGTON - Abusive treatment under the supervision of military intelligence officers may have been intentionally used as part of the interrogation of Iraqi captives at the Abu Ghraib prison, according to a previously unpublished photograph of U.S. soldiers and other personnel obtained by NBC News.

Senators challenged Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz over the rules at a hearing Thursday of the Armed Services Committee.

“A bag over your head for 72 hours — is that humane?” asked Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I.

When Wolfowitz began to answer by saying, “Let me come back to what you said the work of the government ..., ” Reed cut him off and demanded: “No, no — answer the question, secretary.”

Wolfowitz conceded, “What you’ve described to me sounds, to me, like a violation of the Geneva Convention.”

Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went a step further, saying directly: “I would describe it as a violation, sir.”

1. Proof! What a novel idea.

I am glad the accused soldiers are fighting back.

Wow, looks like Congress is getting the hang of the Bushco's tricks during questioning.....
No No...answer the question, Secretary.

Wish I could have seen that!

2. This will be the main reason the photos won't be shown.

From what countries did the Intel officers come?

3. Excellent point!

I heard conjecture on a talk show recently (sorry can't remember which one) that Israelis were part of the intelligence group. If that is true and it comes out, Damn, we would really be in for it.

5. not just conjecture

everyone knows it weas Douglas Feith and Paul Wolfowitz that brought in the Israelis (and their Shin Bet head bags). Just need the solid link.

4. This is going to make one hell of a movie.

I don't know if it's going to be "R" rated or "X" rated, but I'm pretty sure that it will not be "PG."
