In December, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s scathing report on the CIA’s interrogation program exposed graphic accounts of the techniques used against terrorism suspects. But the use of torture by U.S. personnel was not limited to the CIA, nor was it limited to a group of brutal guards at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. In this story, writer Joshua Phillips lifts the curtain on another episode of prisoner abuse in Iraq and its impact on one U.S. service member who participated in the violence and tried to stop it. Phillips spent a decade interviewing troops who were involved in prisoner abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also talk to Alberto Mora, the former general counsel of the Navy who challenged the Bush administration over its interrogation program. Reveal is an investigative public radio show and podcast produced by The Center for Investigative Reporting and PRX. For more, visit revealnews.org.
