When states are threatened by war and terrorism, can we really
expect them to abide by human rights and humanitarian law? David P.
Forsythe's bold analysis of US policies towards terror suspects
after 9/11 addresses this issue directly. Covering moral,
political, and legal aspects, he examines the abuse of enemy
detainees at the hands of the United States. At the center of the
debate is the Bush Administration, which Forsythe argues displayed
disdain for international law, in contrast to the general public's
support for humanitarian affairs. Forsythe explores the
similarities and differences between Presidents Obama and Bush on
the question of prisoner treatment in an age of terrorism and asks
how the Administration should proceed. The book traces the
Pentagon's and CIA's records in mistreating prisoners, providing an
account which will be of interest to all those who value human
rights and humanitarian law.
