Reference: ACLU Releases Torture Database
From an ACLU Announcement:
…a compilation of over 100,000 pages of documents related to the Bush administration’s rendition, detention, and interrogation policies and practices. The database is our effort to provide meaningful public access to the primary documentation of torture and abuse during the years following September 11, 2001.
The database is both simple and advanced. It allows easy searching by keyword or through useful tags. And it allows more sophisticated searching by taking advantage of an enormous amount of metadata individually tagged in each and every document. We hope you’ll find it easy to use.
