Un nouvel article qui fera date de Seymour Hersh : The Gray Zone
According to interviews with several past and present American intelligence officials, the Pentagon's operation (...) encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners in an effort to generate more intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq. A senior C.I.A. official, in confirming the details of this account last week, said that the operation stemmed from Rumsfeld's long-standing desire to wrest control of America?s clandestine and paramilitary operations from the C.I.A.
To wrest : to obtain something with effort or difficulty, to violently pull something away from someone.

C'est malheureusement aussi passionnant qu'un épisode de 24.
