Clive Stafford Smith is a British lawyer who has represented American prisoners on Death Row and, more recently, detainees in Guantanamo Bay. In this programme, he reveals the abuses suffered by Guantanamo detainees and talks to experts in the field of torture, including CIA and US Army veterans. The programme examines cases of false confessions extracted under torture, suggesting that torture is useless as well as being repugnant and illegal.

Channel 4's Dispatches investigated.

Shown on Channel 4 in the UK on 28 February 2005

3. It is dicouraging that torture is acceptable in the so-called
civilized Western World. This makes me feel that there is very little hope for mankind.
