Levin Discusses Need for Torture Prosecutions

By Scott Horton

Senator Carl Levin, chair of the Armed Services Committee, oversaw an 18-month long investigation into the Bush Administration’s torture policy that conclusively established that the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, and elsewhere resulted from policies introduced by Bush. In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Levin discusses Cheney’s acknowledgement of his involvement in torture policy, the need for further investigations, and the ultimate necessity for indictments in order to hold the torture policy team accountable.
