Synopsis

The United States of America has historically been regarded as a moral leader opening the pathway for human rights. The country which has long struggled for the establishment of the rule of law û as well as to be a model for other nations in observing it û has, since 11 September 2001 committed abhorrent practices of torture against which it has fought when committed by others. What seems astonishing is that such practices took place in the U.S. within a climate of significant public indifference and even with some public support.

What seems astonishing is that such practices took place in the U.S. within a climate of significant public indifference and even with some public support.
