A Question of Torture

Did you listen to Democracy Now! at lunch time as I don’t advocate often enough?

If not, go to the link below and listen or watch this particular segment, or just read the transcript. Alfred McCoy starts out talking about CIA involvement in the global drug trade, but about a third of the way down the transcript page we read:

AMY GOODMAN: Well, as a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, you have not stopped looking at the C.I.A., and now you’ve written this new book. It’s called A Question of Torture: C.I.A. Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror. Give us a history lesson.

And he does.

Required reading: Professor McCoy Exposes the History of CIA Interrogation, From the Cold War to the War on Terror

[As I post this, only a partial transcript is available, hopefully the rest is forthcoming.]
