Levin Calls for Probe of Bush Officials
---------------------------------------



In a statement, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Carl Levin said the
new evidence provides a direct line from top Bush officials to abuses at
prisons such as Abu Ghraib. Levin said, “Senior officials sought out
information on, were aware of training in, and authorized the use of
abusive interrogation techniques…[They] bear significant responsibility
for creating the legal and operational framework for the abuses.” Levin
went on to call on Attorney General Eric Holder to establish a
high-level commission to investigate high-level Bush officials.
