New Materials:
In addition to the continuous expansion of human rights materials and documents, the HRL has recently launched a new archive entitled "U.S Military Medicine in War on Terror Prisons", which can be found at http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/OathBetrayed/index.html.
This is a comprehensive collection of government documents revealing the procedural workings of medical personnel within the various prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
This archive was featured in the July-August 2007 issue of Minnesota (the magazine for UMN Alums) in the article "Taking on Torture" by Shelly Fling. Read the article at: http://www.alumni.umn.edu/Miles_Story.html
