“In 2004, a U.S. Navy veteran named Donald Vance went to Iraq to work as a security contractor. When he discovered that the company employing him was selling weapons to radical Islamist militias, Vance contacted the FBI and began feeding it information. Rather than acting on Vance’s disclosures, the military seized him. For several weeks Vance was imprisoned in an Iraqi dungeon, where he was subjected to interrogation that legally qualified as torture. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed Vance’s lawsuit, arguing that Rumsfeld and every other official in the military chain of command enjoys blanket immunity.”
