With the release of the Department of Justice memos, President Obama has acknowledged "a dark and painful chapter" in the U.S. interrogation techniques used on detainees. How should he respond to allegations of torture?
New debate has emerged from the release of the Department of
Justice's Office of Legal Counsel memos approving extreme measures
of interrogation under the Bush administration. As the president
acknowledges "a dark and painful chapter," how should he respond to
allegations of torture? Bill Moyers sits down with Bruce Fein,
former deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan and
chairman of the American Freedom Agenda, and Mark Danner, who has
been reporting on the U.S. treatment and interrogation of detainees
for the New York Review of Books. Also on the program,
the JOURNAL profiles Steve Meacham, a Massachusetts community
organizer fighting to keep working people in their homes.
