In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the ACLU in 2003, the United States government has released documents totaling more than 100,000 pages, detailing the torture and abuse of detainees.

The American public and the world have the right to know the truth about these abuses, the policies that led to them, and the leaders whose decisions put the policies in place.

BREAKING NEWS: New Army Documents Suggest DoD Cover-Up - Documents obtained by the ACLU suggest that senior Defense Department officials turned a blind eye to prisoner abuse reports from Baghdad, from locations other than the Abu Ghraib prison. These newest documents are not yet searchable in the ACLU FOIA search tool. Learn more and view the newest documents >>

Use the ACLU search tool on this page to find details about the incidents, decisions, policies, agencies, and leaders behind the systematic torture and abuse of those in U.S. custody. The ACLU continues to pursue the release of information about detainee torture and abuse. The truth must be aired and our leaders held accountable.
