As a result of the work assembling the documents, memoranda, and
reports that constitute the material in The Torture Papers the
question of the rationale behind the Bush administration's decision
to condone the use of coercive interrogation techniques in the
interrogation of detainees suspected of terrorist connections was
raised. The condoned use of torture in any society is questionable
but its use by the United States, a liberal democracy that
champions human rights and is a party to international conventions
forbidding torture, has sparked an intense debate within America.
The Torture Debate in America captures these arguments with essays
from individuals in different discipines. This volume is divided
into two sections with essays covering all sides of the argument
from those who embrace absolute prohibition of torture to those who
see it as a viable option in the war on terror and with documents
complementing the essays.
