SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book examines the communication battles of the Bush and Blair political administrations (and those of their successors) over their use of torture to gain intelligence for the War on Terror. Exploring the agenda-building drivers that exposed the torture-intelligence nexus and presenting case studies of key media events from the UK and USA, it examines dominant political discourses on the torture-for-intelligence policy and evaluates various modes of resistance to governments' attempts at strategic political communication, with particular attention to 'sousveillance': community-based record
