VPR’s Jane Lindholm talks with Patrick Giantonio and Karen Fondacaro about a collaboration called NESTT (New England Survivors Of Torture And Trauma) which is working with asylum seekers who’ve been traumatized by their experiences.
Senator Patrick Leahy says he’ll oppose the nomination of Attorney General designee Michael Mukasey if the nominee doesn’t disavow the torture policies developed by the Bush Administration.
Leahy says the White House has deceived the American people and Congress about the existence of these policies.
