Yet until now, the full story has never been told. Tara McKelvey &#8212; the first U.S.journalist to speak with female prisoners from Abu Ghraib &#8212; traveled to the Middle East and across the United States to seek out victims and perpetrators. McKelvey tells how soldiers, acting in an atmosphere that encouraged abuse and sadism, were unleashed on a prison population of which the vast majority, according to army documents, were innocent civilians.<br>Drawing upon critical sources, she discloses a series of explosive revelations: An exclusive jailhouse interview with Lynndie England connects the Abu Ghraib pictures to lewd vacation photos taken by England's boyfriend Charles Graner; formerly undisclosed videotapes show soldiers "Robotripping" on cocktails of over-the-counter drugs while pretending to stab detainees; new material sheds light on accusations against an American suspected of raping an Iraqi child; and first-hand accounts suggest the use of high-voltage devises, sexual humiliation and pharmaceutical drugs on Iraqi prisoners. She also provides an inside look at Justice Department theories of presidential power to show how the many abuses were licensed by the government.</div> 958809 10 5 2007 Monstering: Inside America's Policy of Secret Interrogations and Torture in the Terror War total:8|5:3|4:2|3:2|2:1| 8 31 24 1 5 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 06:21:31 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 06:22:49 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Jul 23 12:50:13 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:50:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 03 16:07:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 16:07:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 07 15:50:24 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 10:50:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 15:05:17 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 15:05:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 09 17:00:38 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 09 17:01:11 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu Sep 18 13:37:55 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 13:37:55 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Aug 27 15:26:49 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 15:26:49 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 00:49:41 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 00:49:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 24 07:08:40 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 07:08:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 01 08:47:22 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 08:47:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 20 08:00:31 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 08:00:37 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Mar 18 18:15:50 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 18:15:50 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 09:31:54 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 07:25:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Mar 04 16:50:13 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 16:50:19 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Feb 07 16:23:06 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 16:23:11 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jan 04 20:17:02 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 20:17:02 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 26 11:34:35 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 11:34:41 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Jul 29 19:19:15 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 29 19:19:18 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 26 14:58:29 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 12 17:52:03 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=973912
