Gitmo's Indefensible Lawyers

WSJ "...the Amnesty International brochure was better than the Manchester Manual. It cued detainees that the abuses at Abu Ghraib "were not an aberration." The brochure told them that images from the Iraqi prison were consistent with "numerous allegations of torture and ill-treatment reported from detention centres in Afghanistan, Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay." The message to the detainees was clear: If you want to claim you are being tortured, here is a vast menu of examples from which to choose."
