American practices in pursuing the “war on terror” have compelled some military officers to speak out in defense of Constitutional protections and international law. They have raised objections to abusive interrogations and unfair court proceedings of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and other U.S. military installations.
