HONORED WORK: “Torture and Truth”
This outstanding entry addressed the issues of torture, international law and political responsibility. They depict the chilling story of how, by acts of commission and omission, the highest authorities in the United States mapped out the road to Abu Ghraib. Danners work relentlessly exposed the culpability of those higher up the pecking order than the ordinary soldiers now in the dock.
