It was a historic moment.  On Dec. 2, 2002, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld signed a memorandum authorizing interrogation techniques against detainees at Guantanamo that the current President of the United States, Barack Obama, has described as “torture.”

In a handwritten notation at the bottom of the memo, apparently believing that the U.S. government was being too lenient and humane to the detainees,Rumsfeld scrawled, “I stand for 8-10 hours a day.  Why is standing limited to 4  hours?”

If Rumsfeld had any thoughts at that historic moment,  thus far that one is the only one recorded for history.
