Did Rumsfeld authorize abuses? Former general says yes

Just wanted to give a quick mention to this Reuters article which claims Donald Rumsfeld okayed abuses at Abu Ghraib. Story claims Rumsfeld specifically authorized a lists of methods,

"The methods consisted of making prisoners stand for long periods, sleep deprivation ... playing music at full volume, having to sit in uncomfortably ...

The article also goes on to say Rumsfeld authorized the army to break the Geneva Conventions by not registering all prisoners. Interesting indeed...

I'd also like to apologize for the lack of updates today, and yesterday, as I stated in my Thanksgiving Day post, my Mom's side of my family didn't celebrate Thanksgiving until tonight, so I've been away from home all day, and won't be returning until tomorrow evening. Having said that, there will be no "Daily RunDown" this evening, look for a new one tomorrow night.

Hope everyone enjoys the remainder of their holiday weekend!!
