- Description
- Episode Description
- BILL MOYERS JOURNAL presents TORTURING DEMOCRACY — a documentary by award-winning producer, Sherry Jones, examining how coercive interrogation methods were used by the CIA and the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay and other locations and the charges that these interrogations became "at a minimum, cruel and inhuman treatment and, at worst, torture," in the words of the former General Counsel of the U.S. Navy, Alberto Mora. It carefully presents the evidence that the Bush administration promoted these methods and developed legal justification for the practice. The film features in-depth interviews with senior military and government officials who fought the policy and former Guantanamo detainees who experienced it and uncovers the origins of the tactics the White House called "enhanced interrogation techniques."
