Two Views of Abu Ghraib

By Jennifer Ludden
Published April 23, 2005 at 12:00 AM EDT

Jennifer Ludden takes a closer look with John Yoo, a former Justice Department legal counsel who helped write the so-called "torture memos," and Karen Greenberg, editor of The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib.
