tecniche di interrogatorio «più energiche» da usare a Guantanamo: sono
quelle poi usate in Iraq. Lo studio offre le giustificazioni legali:
nella guerra al terrorismo il presidente non è tenuto a rispettare le
leggi che vietano la tortura, americane o internazionali. E nessuno, che
agisca sotto sua istruzione, potrà essere processato per questo...
