Torture: A History of the Present - Jameel Jaffer

Torture: A History of the Present
Jameel Jaffer - Director, ACLU National Security Project
April 14, 2008 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Since 2003, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been litigating for records relating to the treatment of prisoners held by the U.S. at Abu Ghraib and other facilities overseas, and the documents it has obtained tell a story that is starkly different from the one that has been told by the Bush administration. Jameel Jaffer, the Director of the ACLU's National Security Project, will talk about the litigation, the documents, and the Bush administration's controversial torture policies.
