The article looks at how torture has been used as part of the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush's global war on terrorism. The author suggests that uniformed servicemen and CIA employees have beaten, maimed, sodomized and killed prisoners held in custody. The article reviews various Defense Department reports and government memos related to the issue. It is the author's view that the Bush administration has attempted to hide facts while trying to derail investigations into various instances of tortures.
