Army Sanctioned Torture

Raw Story reports that the ACLU has documents showing the Army approved of torture techniques well before Abu Ghraib.

New Army documents released by the American Civil Liberties Union today reveal that Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez ordered interrogators to "go to the outer limits" to get information from detainees. The documents also show that senior government officials were aware of abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan before the Abu Ghraib scandal broke.
