Torture: Does it Make Us Safer? Is It Ever OK?: A Human Rights Perspective (Hardcover) by Kenneth Roth (Editor)

Of all the issues on the human rights agenda, torture offered Americans the moral high ground...until 2004 With the abuses at Abu Ghraib that led to accusations of torture within the domestic criminal justice system, the question of cruel and unusual treatment has taken on new urgency in the United States and elsewhere. Intended for a general audience, some of the key questions addressed include how to define torture, whether torture is ever effective, and whether it is ever acceptable. Recommended by former Director of Education Rabbi Edward Feld.
