Description
Summary:"Tells the inside story of how the U.S. government adopted torture as official policy in the aftermath of 9/11.

It carefully presents evidence that the Bush administration promoted these methods and developed legal justification for the practice - and so lays to rest the 'rotten apple' defense for abusive interrogation at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and elsewhere"--Container of DVD version.
