    By Todd Gitlin November 2, 2005

  • Pentagon: Muslims will riot if they see what we did at Abu Ghraib

    The Bush administration says the release of more photos will lead to violence in Afghanistan and Iraq.

  • Tunnel vision

    For Bush, it's always either the day after 9/11 or the day before the Iraq invasion. He needs to rethink his war on terror.

  • From Guantánamo Bay to Abu Ghraib

    A new investigation suggests that military personnel at Abu Ghraib may have had help thinking up the abuses that happened there.

  • The whitewasher in chief

    Vice President Cheney dubs Guantánamo a model prison. Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter marches along behind him, talking up the facility's fine dining.

  • GOP lawmakers join call to close Gitmo

    Even Vice President Dick Cheney is now hinting at the possibility -- though Rumsfeld's Pentagon continues to hype the prison's importance.

  • The big Gitmo debate

    Shut it down, or just shut up?

  • More tortured logic

    Confirmation of Quran desecration at Gitmo prompts The Wall Street Journal's latest apologia on abuses in the war against terrorism.
    By Mark Follman June 7, 2005

  • U.S. integrity down the toilet

    Forget about Newsweek: The Pentagon reveals more details of Quran desecration at Gitmo (very late on a Friday). No evidence of flushing -- but does splashing urine on the holy book count as abuse?

  • CIA's phantom air force

    A fleet of private planes used in the war against terrorism erases any doubts about Bush policy for shipping off terrorist suspects to countries that torture them.

  • Amnesty International: Absurd except when it isn't

    George W. Bush says allegations of abuse at Guantanamo Bay are the work of "people who hate America."
    By Tim Grieve May 31, 2005

  • Rush Limbaugh's tortured logic

    Rush accused me and other Harvard students of hating America because we put on a play about Abu Ghraib. Not only did he reveal his profound moral ignorance, he lost a man who used to be his biggest fan -- my dad.

  • The ugly truth in the mirror

    From declassified FBI documents to a new report from Amnesty International, will the U.S. confront mounting evidence of its brutal practices in the war on terror?
    By Mark Follman May 26, 2005

  • Religious abuses at Gitmo

    More evidence as to why Newsweek's blunder doesn't debunk the greater mess of allegations about mistreatment of detainees -- religious coercion included -- at the U.S. military prison.
    By Mark Follman May 19, 2005

  • Wrong and right

    Newsweek clearly erred in its sourcing, but the White House is committing a far greater sin in ignoring the overwhelming evidence of U.S. abuse of Muslim detainees.
    By Sidney Blumenthal May 19, 2005

  • Newsweek tells its own story

    The magazine's blunder was a big one, and any argument in its own defense merits some skepticism. But it's spot on about the greater backdrop for the Islamic world's violent reaction.
    By Mark Follman May 18, 2005

  • The biggest cost of Newsweek's blunder

    It turns Gitmo into a circus-of-a-media story, rather than one about the long-term pattern of abuses inside the Bush administration's secretive system of military prisons used in the war against terrorism.
    By Mark Follman May 17, 2005

  • The bigger story on Quran abuse at Gitmo

    Newsweek's blunder aside, numerous past stories revealed that the Quran was abused by interrogators at the U.S. military prison in Cuba.
    By Mark Follman May 16, 2005

  • Keeping torture in American hands

    Why ask unsavory foreign "allies" to take care of interrogating terrorist suspects for us, if we can do a better job of it ourselves?
    By Mark Follman May 12, 2005

  • The black hole problem deepens

    Can a democracy keep legions of terror suspects locked up in secret forever? The Bush administration faces a conundrum of its own making.
    By Mark Follman May 9, 2005

  • The new dirty war

    Iraq isn't so much like Vietnam -- it's looking more like El Salvador in the 1980s.
    By Mark Follman May 3, 2005

  • The broken chain of command

    A former U.S. soldier who served in Iraq marks the disgraceful one-year anniversary of Abu Ghraib.
    By Mark Follman April 29, 2005

  • How the Bush brigade "supports" the troops

    When it comes to American POWs brutalized by U.S. enemies, the Bush White House -- with some help from the Supreme Court today -- is glad to settle for nothing.
    By Mark Follman April 25, 2005

  • Bush White House turns its back on Gulf War vets

    The Supreme Court represents the last chance for a group of Gulf War POWs to be compensated for their suffering at Saddam's hands. The Bush administration wants the case thrown out.
