Mainstreaming Torture: Ethical Approaches in the Post-9/11 United States
Gordon, Rebecca (Lecturer, Philosophy Department and Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good, Lecturer, Philosophy Department and Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good, University of San Francisco)
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 reopened what many Americans had assumed was a settled ethical question: Is torture ever morally permissible? Rebecca Gordon argues that institutionalized state torture remains as wrong today as it was before those terrible attacks, and shows how U. S. practices during the ''war on terror'' are rooted in a history that includes support for torture regimes abroad and for the use of torture in the jails and prisons of thiscountry.
