Rating  - torture team
A great read. Gives you the inside story and the truth regarding the top level involvement of government officials like Don Rumsfeld, Willion Haynes, Dick Cheney in the formulation of our current torture policy in violaation of international law.
Rating - Sands Has Done the Work for Prosecution by International Court
After seeing Sands on Moyers, I ordered this book. The detail he brings to the possible prosecution of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Yoo/Haynes/Feith for war crimes is remarkable. His interview with Dr. Abigail Seltzer in evaluating whether the treatment of Detainee 063 constituted torture is unsurpassed. His summation in Chapter 25 lays out the case with assistance from Lord Wright, who chaired the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Such a fine read!
Rating - MASTERFUL,TRAGIC, AND DEPRESSING
This case is closed. Phillipe Sands has executed an extraordinary work of investigation and reporting. I was constantly amazed by the statements of individuals so intimately involved in the process. There is dark criminality here, and it is truly depressing to know that our post 9/11 trauma and fear has been so successfully exploited that the perpetrators acted with impunity. History will show that these fools, who thought they were the Jack Bauer answer to terrorism, were in fact deeply if not fatally compromising the war on terrorism.
Rating  - The Torture Team
Well written documentation of the facts, particularly as it relates to the Lawyers in the DOD, Vice Presidents office, and John Yoo in the Attorney Generals office, who all played a factor in determining that torture was permissable at Quantanamo, and established a policy of torture in the Defence Department. Shows opposition by the top persons in the military.
