Administration of Torture: A Documentary Record from Washington to Abu Ghraib & Beyond

"Amazon Description: . When the American media published photographs of US soldiers abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib, the Bush administration assured the world that the abuse was isolated & that the perpetrators would be held accountable. Over the next three years, it refined its narrative at the margins, but by & large its public position remained the same. Yes, the administration acknowledged, some soldiers abused prisoners. The abuse, it claimed, was aberrational--noy systemic, not widespread, & certainly not a matter of policy. The government's own documents, obtained by the ACLU, tell a starkly different story."
