Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz went before Congress Thursday asking for $25 billion more to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan and he warned far more money may be needed. He said, “It will sure be much larger than 25 billion dollars.” Wolfowitz was widely criticized because the Bush administration has not outlined how the money will be spent. US Senator Carl Levin said, “The administration has acted too unilaterally in many ways in the Iraq war. They’ve failed to budget for the costs of the war. Now they want, apparently, as I read these letters, what amounts to a blank check for the supplemental costs.” Meanwhile at the same hearing Wolfowitz admitted that some of the country’s interrogation techniques used in Iraq were “not humane.” He had been asked by Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed if he thought placing a hood over a detainee’s head for 72 hours to be humane treatment. In Iraq 300 Iraqi detainees have been released from Abu Ghraib prison.
