The Dark Side exposes in gripping detail the systematic torture of US held prisoners by the Bush government looking at the intelligence gained, or not, and the price paid, shown in real time against the larger tableau of what was really happening in Washington. George Bush continues to deny that torture occurred and The Dark Side puts to rest any doubt.
This is a dramatic, riveting and explosive read that ultimately questions the honesty and integrity of the Bush administration. It included te stunning admission of one of the detainees, Sheikh Ibn al-Libi, that the confession he made under duress, which provided a key piece of evidence buttressing congressional support of going to war against Irap was in fact fabricated, to make the torture stop. Reading this book will make the hair on you neck stand up and shock you to the very core, and leave you speechless.
