Examining America’s Policy on Interrogations and Torture Post 9/11

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE YOU. 

In April 2004, the Abu Ghraib photographs set off an international scandal. Author Tara McKelvy—the first journalist to speak with female prisoners of Abu Ghraib—traveled to the Middle East and across the United States to unearth the full story. Join us for a lively discussion of her book, Monstering: Inside America’s Policy of Secret Interrogations and Torture in the Terror War, and to examine America’s policy on interrogations and torture in a post-9/11 world.

Tara McKelvey is a senior editor at The American Prospect. She is also a Marie Claire contributing editor and a New York Times Book Review frequent contributor. In addition, she is a research fellow at NYU School of Law’s Center on Law and Security, a 2007 Ochberg Fellow (Dart Center) and a 2008 Hoover Media Fellow.
