Card 8 / 12:
In what ways did the U.S. government attempt to deny the rights of prisoners taken in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The United States denied the rights of prisoners captured in Afghanistan and Iraq by imprisoning and interrogating them outside of the United States, where they were not protected by U.S. law. The U.S. also classified these prisoners as “unlawful combatants,” so that they would not be entitled to the protections of the Geneva Conventions.
