Meanwhile human rights lawyers are planning to file a lawsuit in federal court today against Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on behalf of eight men who say they were tortured by U.S. forces in custody in Iraq and Afghanistan. The suit is being filed jointly by the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First. The detainees were reportedly subjected to torture and other cruel and degrading treatment, including severe and repeated beatings, cutting with knives, sexual humiliation and assault, mock executions and death threats.
