to Stop Torture
Only when the eyes of the world were riveted on this nation's prisoner abuse scandal, did the CIA announce it would suspend the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on detainees in its custody - techniques you and I call torture.

Revelations of the use of torture by U.S. personnel and attempts by some to justify or "legalize" this behavior has created the greatest threat to universal condemnation of torture and ill-treatment Amnesty has seen in decades.
