Eunomia: On Torture And Detainees

It references the new book by Jane Mayer, The Dark Side, and includes a link to a review of that book by Andrew Bacevich.

I find that unlikely--who among the Democrats isn't interested in using the unconstitutional tools of the nation-state against perceived enemies, both foreign and domestic?
