| Bush was told via Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld in 2002 and 2003 about the sexual torture going on in Abu Ghraib prison, but he refused to do anything to stop it. This book explains why Bush himself is responsible, not some underlings. Read his summary article in the New Yorker. This book only briefly covers the Bush porn videos of little Iraqi boys screaming as they were anally raped. The book also covers the failure of intelligence prior to 9/11. You get a feel for what Perle, Rumsfeld, Bolton and the other neocons are like as people. Seymour Hersh is the Pulitzer prize winner who broke the Mai Lai massacre atrocity story in the Viet Nam era. He broke the CIA dirty tricks scandal. He broke the Richard Perle Trireme conflict of interest story. He broke Bush’s plans to attack Iraq. He writes for the New Yorker. Surprisingly, Hersh is a gung ho, pro-military guy, who gets his information talking military people. | ||||

| Like Seymour Hersh, Mark Danner is a journalist with The New Yorker. The book contains the 2002-10 Defense Department memo that authorized the Muslim-baiting practices in the POW torture camps. The torture was part of a deliberate policy of “enhanced interrogation” planned at the highest levels of the administration. No punishment awaits the senior U.S. officials who orchestrated the abuses in Iraq and other U.S. detention facilities around the world. With the help of a Republican-controlled Congress, the White House and Defense Department have so far succeeded in limiting the fallout from the scandal and blaming it on a handful of overzealous, low-ranking soldiers. | ||

| by: | Thich Nhat Hanh | |
| Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk who survived the atrocities of the Viet Nam war. He came to realise that anger was counter-productive. He seeks to dispassionately seek the causes of terrorism and war. For a start he proposes a Truth and Reconciliation commission for the USA to simply allow various disaffecting groups within the USA to air their grievances and suffering to be heard on a televised forum. | ||
