The ACLU Freedom Files

Freedom from Abuse of Power: Torture and Unlawful Imprisonment

Directed by Ross Tuttle
S2 • E9    Oct 7, 2007
Freedom from Abuse of Power: Torture and Unlawful Imprisonment illustrates how Americans' all-important right to due process is being eroded, and how torture and extraordinary rendition are being illegally used by our government in the "war on terror." The history of habeas corpus is outlined, and we see how time-honored protections against arbitrary imprisonment are being undermined. A former CIA official discusses the origins of extraordinary rendition, and describes how the practice expanded after Sept. 11 to include torture and brutal interrogations ordered by the U.S. and conducted in foreign prisons.
