For the first time since the Bush administration launched its global campaign against terrorism, the United States this week will answer internationally for its record on torture. On May 5 and May 8, the United Nationâ??s Committee Against Torture will question some 30 high-level officials from the Departments of State, Justice, Homeland Security, and Defense on U.S. compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The U.S. officials will be speaking on the record about Washingtonâ??s human rights performance in the â??war on terror,â?ť and this session in Geneva may offer a more comprehensive accounting than usual of the Bush administrationâ??s views on these issues.
