Bush is going to try to dump the torture scandal on Rumsfeld to save himself. But the truth is that the US policy was revealed even before the war started by how hard the US Government worked to exempt itself from war crimes trials, and by opposition to UN Resolutions on the use of torture. Given the wide range of officials required to carry out such political wrangling, it is clear that the US Government INTENDED to use torture, a policy that had to have been approved by Bush himself.
