The Court-Martial Of Willie Brand
Very good 60 Minutes report bringing more evidence that the torture scandals come from the very top!
My favorite part:
Wilkerson says the Secretary of State, who devoted much of his life to the Army, was enraged. As the Abu Ghraib torture scandal was breaking, Wilkerson says his boss (Colin Powell) snapped up the phone and called Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"And he essentially said, 'Don, don’t you know what you’re doing to our credibility around the world don’t you know what you’re doing to our image?' And for Secretary Powell to raise his voice that way was quite extraordinary. I’ve only heard him do it maybe five times in 16 years," says Wilkerson.
"What do you mean he raised his voice?" Pelley asked.
"I’m sure Secretary Rumsfeld was probably holding the phone away from his ear," Wilkerson replied.
