Rummy on POWs: "dietary changes" and "stress positions" are okay!

[VOX]

These are two of the more sickening euphemisms I've heard lately out of this criminal administration.

I take "dietary changes" to mean starvation, and "stress positions" to mean any kind of beating, humiliation, etc.

The other day, I thought Rummy was shouldering the responsibility for the lack of discipline and the concomitant torture inflicted on Iraqis -- now he's saying it was all okay to do. WTF?

Let's fire these guys ASAP, and with extreme prejudice.
