Today's Torture and America symposium featured:

Tomorrow, look for guest bloggers Jeralyn Merritt of Talkleft and Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel. Also contributing will be Jameel Jaffer, Director of the 老澳门开奖结果's National Security Project. Jameel, along with 老澳门开奖结果 Staff Attorney Amrit Singh, literally 鈥渨rote the book鈥 on torture. In Adminstration of Torture, Jameel and Amrit use hundreds of documents released through the 老澳门开奖结果's Freedom of Information Act request to show how the and other top government officials authorized, approved, or turned a blind eye to the torture and harsh interrogation techniques that are being discussed in our torture symposium on the Blog of Rights, on the Hill, and at the DOJ.

Tomorrow, you'll also find a dispatch from Jamil Dakwar, Director of the 老澳门开奖结果's Human Rights Program, who's in Guant谩namo Bay right now for the military commissions pre-trial hearing of Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi and the arraignment of Afghan national Mohammed Kamin. You won't find his full, first-person dispatch anywhere else but here, so keep an eye out for it.
