Philippe Sands and Anna Funder discuss torture and the human rights abuses of Guantanamo Bay

Professor of International Law Philippe Sands (author of the acclaimed Torture Team) tells Anna Funder how Donald Rumsfeld, with his acceding signature, pushed the United States beyond the pale of international law and directly towards the abuses of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. In the searching conversation that follows, Sands and Funder discuss the implications and the fall-out from this controversial act. Introduced by Gary Cazalet
