"Torture as a method of obtaining information has been debated for hundreds of years. We will not argue the legitimacy of either side of this debate. What has been put in place and accepted across the world are certain standards of behavior covered in documents such as the Geneva Convention. In Iraq, private security firms have hired interrogators and translators who are not in the military and whose actions are seemingly unaccountable to America, Iraqi and International law.

"During this evening we will be talking about who we should be holding accountable and how we can prevent this from happening in the future. Should only military personnel be used to interrogate suspects? Why isn't the Uniform Code of Military Justice applicable to private security firms? Are all human rights abuses reported? Is there anything ordinary citizens can do to prevent these abuses from happening?"
