Rumsfeld Ordered Iraqi Prisoner Held in Secret

Pentagon officials say Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ordered an Iraqi terror suspect to be held in a secret location, hidden away from the International Committee of the Red Cross and others.

Officials say Mr. Rumsfeld, acting on a request by CIA Director George Tenet, ordered the suspected senior member of terror group Ansar al-Islam to be secretly held in solitary confinement at a military prison near Baghdad.

The man has been held at the prison for seven months. A recent U.S. military report described efforts to hold prisoners in secret as "deceptive" and a "violation of international law."

Defense Department officials say the man will soon be assigned an identification number and permitted visits by the Red Cross.
