Is torture still standard practice for the U.S.?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about U.S. torture policies. Revelations about the treatment of detainees in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and other prisons, have shed light on U.S. torture policies. What happened to that conversation? Join us at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. What do we know about the use of torture today? Has anything changed since President Obama took office? What will it take to bring this issue back into the public consciousness? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Andy Worthington, British journalist and author of The Guantanamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison

Justine Sharrock, author of Tortured: When Good Soldiers Do Bad Things

Patricia Isasa, Argentinian torture survivor
