Tortured Contractor Can Sue Rumsfeld
Posted: 04 Aug 2011 09:31 AM PDT

A federal judge has ruled that former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld can be sued personally for damages by a former U.S. military contractor who says he was tortured during a nine-month imprisonment in Iraq. The man, who speaks five languages and worked as a translator for Marines in Iraq, claims he was abducted by the U.S. military and held without justification while his family knew nothing about his whereabouts. Court papers filed on his behalf say he was repeatedly abused while being held at Camp Cropper, then released without explanation in August 2006.
