Twenty-one scholars, activists, military officers, and religious
leaders have come together here to underscore that torture is a
moral issue, beyond all partisan politics, but also to help
religious communities mobilize against it, so that all loopholes
permitting torture by any U.S. agencies, whether military or
intelligence, might be eliminated.
Torture Is a Moral Issue begins with background material,
including accounts from a torture survivor and a former U.S.
interrogator in Iraq. Parts two, three, and four encompass the
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim responses respectively. Part five
offers solutions to this horrific problem and considers what would
need to be achieved for specifically U.S. torture to be brought to
an end.
