Book excerpt: "He won't be tried in the United States. He can't be tried by an international tribunal. So Donald Rumsfeld will have to be prosecuted by book."—from The Trial of Donald RumsfeldThe Trial of Donald Rumsfeld lays out the evidence that high-level officials of the Bush administration ordered, authorized, implemented, and permitted war crimes, in particular the crimes of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.Using primary source documents ranging from Rumsfeld's "techniques chart" and Iraqi plaintiffs' statements to the testimony of whistleblowers and key pieces of reportage, the book sets forth evidence of a torture program that took place throughout the world: in Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantánamo, secret CIA prisons, and other places unknown.The accused are accorded a defense drawn from their memos and public statements. Readers are allowed to judge whether the Bush administration has engaged in torture and whom among the administration to hold responsible.Reminiscent of Christopher Hitchens's bestselling The Trial of Henry Kissinger, The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld constitutes one of the only attempts to hold high-ranking Bush administration officials criminally responsible for their actions.Includes excerpts from:• testimony from Abu Ghraib victims and the Tipton Three• the interrogation log from Mohammed al Qahtani's detainment at Guantánamo• the Gonzales, Yoo, and Bybee memos• the U.S. Army's Fay/Jones Report on the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib• the August 2004 Final Report of the Independent Panel to Review Department of Defense Detention Operations• testimony from the former head of Abu Ghraib, Janis Karpinski• and analyses by Peter Weiss, Wolfgang Kaleck, Vincent Warren, and others
