 At Guantanamo Bay detention camp, history has proved that concepts of right and wrong can all too easily become distorted by expediency and ambiguity. This program—the 56-minute broadcast-length version—examines the lives of three high-profile individuals from both sides of the razor wire who have intimate knowledge of the horrors of Gitmo: Murat Kurnaz, a former inmate who was detained without trial for five years; former Navy officer Matthew Diaz, whose career was ruined by disclosing classified names of detainees to the Center for Constitutional Rights; and Diane Beaver, author of a notorious memo defending the use of extreme interrogation techniques. Called “a fascinating study of torture and its wide ranging effects” by RowThree.com. (56 minutes)
