Frederick Lorenz, Senior Lecturer, University of Washington Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, and Jim McDermott, Former Congressman, will present today as part of the Global Spotlight series: Trump and Torture: Black Sites and Bad Advice. They will explore a brief history of the law, and how lawyers for the Bush Administration after 9/11 failed to restrain the government from committing acts of torture. Finally, they will discuss this question: Is President Trump likely to return to some of the same “enhanced interrogation” practices that were used during the Bush Administration?
