Victory in Rumsfeld Suit Could End Torture -Lawyer

A victory for eight former US military detainees in a federal lawsuit against Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld could bring a legal halt to abusive detention practices by the United States says a senior lawyer connected with the case. In an interview with BreakForNews.com, Eric Biel, Senior Counsel in Human Rights First's Washington D. C. office, said that a primary objective of the case was to secure a judicial ruling that the objectionable actions 'cease and desist'.
