Judge Allows Torture Lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld to Proceed

Two Americans who claim they were tortured in Iraq have been allowed to move forward with their lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Donald Vance and Nathan Ertel say they were detained and interrogated in 2006 while working for Shield Group Security (SGS), an Iraqi-owned security firm. Vance and Ertel say they became suspicious that SGS employees were illegally providing weapons to private Iraqis, and they reported what they had seen to the FBI and other U.S. government officials. However, they were themselves labeled “security detainees” and held incommunicado by the U.S. military. Vance and Ertel allege that they were thrown into cages, strip searched and questioned using “physically and mentally coercive tactics” before being released.
