Michael Ratner, the centre's president, said he felt the case had a better chance of success now because Mr Rumsfeld was no longer in office and could not exert the same degree of "political pressure".
He added that the centre had more evidence than it did in 2004, citing the case of a detained Saudi national, Mohamad al-Qahtani.
"Al-Qahtani was a man who the US alleged is al-Qaeda, who is in Guantanamo. The entire torture log of al-Qahtani over a period of two months was exposed," Mr Ratner told the BBC.

"These people" being American. There are courts in Europe that have summons's out for American solders, that have been denied by the US government. As you may recall, a reporter was shot and killed at a road block in Iraq. Any attempt to get witness's(American servicemen) has been rebutted.
