Only okay. Not as good as I expected but provided some information I think every American should have before they form an opinion on the Middle East and Gitmo Bay. Humanity is truly awful. Mark Fallon is one of the good guys.

I will share a couple of quotes from this book, which depict why I liked this book so much!
"Once torture is accepted in limited doses, it begins to spread like a virus."
On Rumsfeld and his decisions: "Rumsfeld continued, "I wish we had known more sooner and been able to tell you more sooner, but we didn't". It was an audacious performance for someone who had hand-picked both Dunlavey and Miller to lead the Gitmo Battle Lab, sent Miller to Abu Ghraib, and worked to scuttle high-level legal reviews of the very torture tactics the committee was investigating. Rumsfeld knew he had blood on his hands, but there was no remorse in his conscience."
