Remembering Abu Ghraib

Posted on

In Just Security, David Luban included Mark when he wrote about honoring and celebrating those people within the government and military who never lost their moral bearings – who opposed and resisted the torture program.  Luban referred to Mark’s position when he saw the CIA help enable torture at Guantanamo: “Fallon’s comment about the ‘stuff Congressional hearings are made of’ was prescient – for the minutes were released by Senator Carl Levin during hearings.  And Fallon’s last ling should resonate with us – after all, ‘how will history look back at this’ depends completely on us.
