American Torture from the Philippines to Iraq

- A Recurring Nightmare

af William L. (Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow d'Ambruoso
American Torture from the Philippines to Iraq af William L. (Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow d'Ambruoso
Bag om American Torture from the Philippines to Iraq

What explains the United States' persistent use of torture over the past hundred-plus years? Not only is torture incompatible with liberal values, it is also risky and frequently ineffective as an interrogation method. Drawing on archival testimony from the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), the Vietnam War, and the post-2001 war on terror, William L. d'Ambruoso argues that the norm against torture includes features that help explain why liberal democracies like the United States continue to violate it.
