19. I actually got the impression he thought there was more to the story
But could only report what he was told. Just my impression.

I'm trying to find a link on this. So far I've found a snip of a transcript from 20/20 special from June 2004. It was called "Peter Jennings Reporting: Guantánamo." Maybe what I saw was clips from 20/20 shown on World News Tonight.

The snip I found:

Peter Jennings: Were any prisoners tortured?

Hood: All of our interrogations are conducted consistent with all the
provisions laid out in the Geneva Convention. We are not torturing anybody and anybody who asserted so previously is lying. That doesn't happen here. Detainees are not beaten; they're not starved; they're not abused in any way.

Jennings: Do you not use sleep deprivation?

Hood: Aaaaaah, no, largely not, not that I'm aware of.

(In March 2004, Gen. Hood replaced Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller who was appointed commander of U.S.-run prisons in Iraq.)
