Despite widespread agreement that the Administration's program of extraordinary rendition, prolonged detention, and 'enhanced' interrogation was torture by another name, not a single federal appellate court has confirmed an award of damages to the program's victims. The silence of the federal courts leaves victims without redress and the constitutional limits on government action undefined.Government accountabilityUnited StatesConstitutional tortsUnited StatesTerrorismPreventionLaw and legislationUnited StatesSearches and seizuresUnited StatesCivil rightsUnited StatesGovernment accountabilityConstitutional tortsTerrorismPreventionLaw and legislationSearches and seizuresCivil rights342.73088Pfander James E.1233917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154704203321Constitutional torts and the War on Terror2865907UNINA
