Mr. Dean has closely followed the torture debates happening in Congress and throughout the country.  His keen legal insights cut through the emotional argument and attack the core of the national debate – the constitutionality and legitimacy of the use of torture by the U.S. 

Dean’s analysis includes:

o   The perceived vs. actual benefits of torture
o   the legality of the infamous torture memos
o   torture as war crime
o   the types of torture
o   use of domestic vs. international law in prosecuting

those sanctioning torture activities
o   the consequences of failing to hold an administration responsible
 for authorizing torture
