Sharing that word with others is one of the most important things we can do to work for the day when U.S.-sponsored torture is prohibited.

Books

gushee_bookReligious Faith, Torture, And Our National Soul

This collection of essays suggests that American counterterrorism policies in the Bush years were immoral, unwise, and un-American, and offers considerable detailed analysis to back up such claims. Several dozen specialists in various aspects of law, ethics, politics, and religion analyze both how our nation drifted into such egregious policies and what resources can be drawn upon to pull us out of them, once and for all.

The book is unique in its interdisciplinary and interfaith quality. It contains insider accounts from people who served in the military during the Bush years as well as those who have been to Guantanamo and represented clients there. It offers probing religious and ethical analysis from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim perspectives. The book should be appealing to leaders who have worked on this issue, people from a variety of faiths, academics from various disciplines, and concerned and interested citizens.

Torture: Religious Ethics and National Security

"Reviewing the history and practice of torture, and the arguments used to justify it, Perry takes us into the minds of both the torturers and their victims. Ultimately, he shows why torture is different from other acts of war, and why it is fundamentally immoral: 'not only because it violates the dignity we owe to the human person, but also because it directly or indirectly degrades any society that would tolerate it.'" - from book jacket
