Documents By Chronology:
The attacks on September 11, 2001 were the catalyst for the "war on terror"– and for a legal revolution in assertions of broad powers for the Commander-in-Chief. In this chronological library of 34 documents, it is possible to chart the decision-making that led to interrogations of prisoners in U.S. custody that were "at a minimum, cruel and inhuman treatment and, at worst, torture," in the words of the former general counsel of the United States Navy, Alberto Mora.

Guantanamo Bay
Despite all the stories and talk of Guantanamo Bay the facility is really quite misunderstood. Most Americans don't even know that it is in Cuba. The facility is a federal detention camp for criminals that are considered dangerous to the US (federally) and its interests. The stories of torture, human rights violations, murder, and the like are usually exaggerated or misread. I am not saying these activities may or may not have taken place, but that the facility is justified and are most of its actions. Many other "modern" countries have facilities similar or worse than Guantanamo. Human right violations in Russian and Chinese are among the highest. Prisoners experience disease, malnutrition, violations, torture, etc. But where is the outcry, there isn't one. Guantanamo is the world's scapegoat for America and its problems.
