Rasul Kudaev's case exemplifies how the stamp of Guantanamo can blight an innocent man's life more than a decade after his release.

Much like the days of September 2001, a catastrophic failure of the American security state has morphed into an excuse for hostility and aggression toward traditional overseas adversaries.

Under President Obama, there has been no fundamental change to counteract the US government's impulse to torture.

At least nine Pakistanis were killed Sunday in a US drone strike in North Waziristan.

Past and present seem to come together in official declarations that US military actions are dictated by the mandates of an “exceptional” war.

Congress should end the wars, ground the drones and stop using torture.

Torture has a very specific political function that has nothing to do with the gathering of “intelligence.”
