ACLU Catches Lt. Gen. Sanchez In Torture Lie

The ACLU is requesting an investigation into the testimony of Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the theater commander at the outset of the Iraq War. Specifically, Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) asked Sanchez, "today's USA Today, sir, reported that you ordered or approved the use of sleep deprivation, intimidation by guard dogs, excessive noise and inducing fear as an interrogation method for a prisoner in Abu Ghraib prison." To which Sanchez replied, using the acronym for Coalition Joint Task Force-7, "Sir, that may be correct that it's in a news article, but I never approved any of those measures to be used within CJTF-7 at any time in the last year." Well here is a chance for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to prove he is the country's lawyer and not the lawyer for the Bush regime which he promised in his confirmation hearings.
