July 2006 Congressional Testimony
The Boston Globe reported on July 11, 2006 that Hutson was scheduled to testify before the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. The Globe reported, at length, comments Hutson had made regarding a memo from Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England telling Armed Forces personnel to comply with the Geneva Conventions in its treatment of captives: "It kind of takes the wind out of the sails of people who say the Congress should simply authorize what the president had done in his original order. I'd like to see something coming of the CIA or Negroponte similarly."
