| Synopsis: |
For the first time, the Justice Department's secret memos describing the brutal CIA interrogation techniques used under the Bush administration, and on British prisoners, are brought together in one remarkable volume. With an independent investigation into alleged MI5 complicity in overseas torture currently being called for, "The Torture Memos" is a timely and vitally important insight into the terrifying 'enhanced interrogation techniques' used in Guantanamo, and the incredible arguments advanced to justify them. David Cole's introductory essay explains the story behind the memos and presents a compelling case that American law was twisted to conform to the CIA's abusive, illegal conduct, arguing that accountability for these crimes is essential if the US is to restore fidelity to the rule of law. |
