Would you trust Rumsfeld with a decision on whether or not you should be tortured?

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld can authorize exceptions to a new Defense Department policy on military interrogations that bars torture and calls for "humane" treatment of detainees, a spokesman said.

[...]

A little noticed loophole in the directive, which was made public Tuesday, gives the secretary of defense or his deputy authority to override the policy.

i can't remember where i read it but someone, a few weeks ago, said that he thought rumsfeld was insane... sure stuck with me...
