WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Despite highly publicized charges of U.S. mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo, the head of the Amnesty International USA said on Sunday the group doesn't 'know for sure' that the military is running a 'gulag.' Executive Director William Schulz said Amnesty, often cited worldwide for documenting human rights abuses, also did not know whether Secretary Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld approved severe torture methods such as beatings and starvation. Schulz recently dubbed Rumsfeld an 'apparent high-level architect of torture' in asserting he approved interrogation methods that violated international law. He noted that it was Amnesty's headquarters in London that issued the annual report on global human rights, which said Guantanamo Bay 'has become the gulag of our times.' When about the comparison, Schulz said, 'Clearly this is not an exact or a literal analogy.'
