The Insignificance and Insanity of Abu Zubaydah

Abu Zubaydah, an alleged senior al-Qaeda operative, has been held without charge or trial as a “high-value detainee” for over six years, first in secret CIA custody, and then in Guantánamo, while battles have raged within the administration over his supposed significance.

“I learnt that pain is a part of life” - Murat Kurnaz Interview

He spent over four years in Guantánamo Bay, the infamous US detention camp. The tale of Murat Kurnaz, as told by himself, will hit US bookstores this week.

Bush’s henchman ordered up legal fig leaf to justify torture

Tribune Editorial

I resisted watching ”Taxi to the Dark Side,” the documentary on America’s treatment of terror suspects that won this year’s Academy Award as best documentary feature. The review DVD I was sent was sitting on top of my television set for a week, reminding me - no exhorting me - to look at it, [...]

A tortured defense

Constitutional lawyer: Bush ‘ordered war crimes’

Nick Juliano
This week’s revelation of another secret Bush administration memo that seemed to eliminate

Former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo wrote in 2003 [...]
