Philip Zimbardo, vodja znanega psihološkega eksperimenta popularno poimenovanega Stanford Prison Experiment, je v svoji zadnji knjigi The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Become Evil obtožil Rumsfelda, da je ustvaril razmere v katerih se kršijo človekove pravice.

The professor, Philip Zimbardo, lambasts Mr Rumsfeld in his most recent book, arguing that the defence secretary established the conditions that allowed low-ranking US military personnel to abuse Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Explaining his support for the petition, Professor Zimbardo told The New York Times: “It is unacceptable to have someone who represents the values that Rumsfeld has portrayed, in an academic setting.”
