Description
"These who condemn the treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo have blamed U.S. military procedures and abuses of executive powers. But in The Story of Cruel and Unusual, Colin Dayan argues that anyone who has followed the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions regarding the Eight Amendment would recognize the White House's policies on torture as natural extensions of the language of our courts and practices in U.S. prisons."--Jacket.
