Torture on Trial
Torture. The word appears almost daily in the headlines of newspapers
across the country. As long-held secrets of the Bush administration's
policies on detention and interrogation are revealed, Americans are
increasingly asking questions: behind the closed doors of far-away
prisons, what acts were committed in our name? Who committed these
acts? And will they be held to account? Can a nation that has
committed torture afford to walk away from its past?
"Torture on Trial" is a Link TV original production that investigates
the history of interrogations in the "War on Terrorism", and the
growing movement calling for accountability for those who authorized
and participated in torture.
