The article focuses on the issue of torture and the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush. The scandal involving prisoner abuses at Abu Ghraib is reviewed. Also reviewed are documents released related to the torture of individuals by U.S. forces by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). It is suggested that former Attorney General John Ashcroft began producing memorandums that opened the way to torture and mistreatment of prisoners following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
