Wolfowitz fronts hostile Senate committee

ABC Online: Wolfowitz fronts hostile Senate committee

"Secretary Wolfowitz went to the Senate Armed Services Committee wanting the US Congress to approve an extra $25 billion to go towards the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. But he got a hostile reception. Democrat Senator Jack Reed was particularly belligerent.
JACK REED: Mr Secretary, do you think crouching naked for 45 minutes is humane?
PAUL WOLFOWITZ: Not naked, absolutely not.
JACK REED: So if he's dressed up, that's fine? Let me put it this way. 72 hours without regular sleep, sensory deprivation which would be a bag over your head for 72 hours. Do you think that's humane? And that's what this says, a bag over your head for 72 hours. Is that humane?
PAUL WOLFOWITZ: Let me come back to what you said the work…
JACK REED: No, no. Answer the question, Secretary. Is that humane?
PAUL WOLFOWITZ: I don't know whether it means a bag over your head for 72 hours Senator. I don't know.
JACK REED: Mr Secretary, you're dissembling, non-responsive. Anybody would say putting a bag over someone's head for 72 hours, which is sensory deprivation…
PAUL WOLFOWITZ: I believe it's not humane. It strikes me as not humane, Senator.
JACK REED: Thank you very much."
