Jennifer Harbury's investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992; she told the story of his torture and murder in Searching for Everardo. For over a decade since, Harbury has used her formidable legal, research, and organizing skills to press for the U.S. government's disclosure of America's involvement in harrowing abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. A draft of this book had just been completed when the first photos from Abu Ghraib were published; tragically, many of Harbury's deepest fears about America's own abuses were graphically confirmed by those horrific images.

This urgently needed book offers both well-documented evidence of the CIA's continuous involvement in torture tactics since the 1970s and moving personal testimony from many of the victims. Most important, Harbury provides solid, convincing arguments against the use of torture in any circumstances: not only because it is completely inconsistent with all the basic values Americans hold dear, but also because it has repeatedly proved to be ineffective: Again and again, 'information' obtained through these gruesome tactics proves unreliable or false. Worse, the use of torture by U.S. client states, allies, and even by our own operatives, endangers our citizens and especially our troops deployed internationally.

Boyfriend liked it, however it has a weird fit
I got this for my boyfriend as he is a fan of this brand's clothes. I got him small and I am glad I did. Although it looks fantastic on him because he is him, the sweater is strangely long and has a weird tough material to it. It is not exactly soft to the touch, and it has a weird stretch. It doesn't feel like other COOFANDY brand turtlenecks he owns, so I was surprised at how stiff the material was compared to those. The color is also a bit more orange in person.

Ribbing & AComfortable Fit
I stumbled onto this brand as the sizes & sizing were very accurate. The ribbed feature is a blessing as it masks, hides, conceals stains & or body imperfections. I'm a 63 year old grandpa who greets outside in the Midwest at church 50 weeks a year. The warmth, the longer sleeve's and the high & roll up, roll down turtle neck is super cozy. The value is, it looks more expensive than it actually was, I have already ordered another in black. I am 5'8 298# with a 63 inch chest 48 inch waist fits with room to spare.

Very nice turtleneck
I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present. He loves it! He says it fits well, not to heavy and is very comfortable.
