Torture
Government documents show that, under the Bush administration, hundreds of prisoners were tortured in U.S. custody – some even killed – in the course of interrogation. Justice Department memos reveal that the torture policies were developed at the highest levels of government. These abuses can't be swept under the rug. The ACLU is committed to restoring the rule of law because accountability for torture is a legal, political, and moral imperative.
