Cheney & Rumsfeld as Witnesses at Torture Trial?
A brilliant move by defense attorneys for U.S. Army Pfc. Lynndie England. England was featured prominently in two notorious photgraphs taken at Abu Ghraib prison:
...England's lawyer Rose Mary Zapor told a news conference that Cheney and Rumsfeld were on a list of more than 130 people that the defense would like to call as witnesses.
Zapor said England's defense that she was only following orders could be bolstered by evidence from Rumsfeld and Cheney. The vice president would have knowledge of 'intelligence tactics' due to his service as secretary of defense in the presidency of Bush's father, she said...
Imagine the media circus surrounding this trial in the unlikely event one of these Hawks testifies.
