Starting Monday 28 February 2005

Post 9/11, the interrogation methods the US administration are using in their 'war on terror' are said by human rights groups to be nothing short of illegal torture. From Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib to the shadowy presence of a global network, over four programmes Channel 4 looks at how US actions are betraying the very values they claim to be defending.

This site details the methods used, debunks the euphemisms used to describe them and some of the excuses made. You can join the campaign trail, or air your views on the Dispatches forum.
