Torture Team by Philippe Sands
Amazon.com/co.uk · BookDepository.com/co.uk
Sands is a lawyer and his investigation into how the legal case was made for torture in the US is fascinating and includes extensive interviews with a lot of those involved. He focuses a great deal on Al-Qahtani’s case and interrogation log. For a good summary of the argument of the book, see Sands’ article ‘The Green Light‘ at Vanity Fair.
Standard Operating Procedure
Amazon.com/co.uk
This documentary directed by Errol Morris focuses on the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison made famous with photographs taken by military personnel of inmates being mistreated and humiliated – but it is an interesting companion piece to Sands’ book, as both deal with the issue of where responsibility for these abuses lie. (There is also a book that was made in concert with the film, called The Ballad of Abu Ghraib in the US and Standard Operating Procedure in the UK – Amazon.com/co.uk, BookDepository.com/co.uk).
Wikipedia
Al-Qahtani’s Wikipedia entry is quite thorough.
