"The one thing that is missing is an understanding of the lawyers on the
other side: the darker figures of the story. Lawyers like Prof. John Yoo
(who is given passing reference in the book) and Prof. Viet D. Dinh are
viewed by many law professors and civil libertarians as grotesque and
even monstrous in their work to excuse torture and to deny the basic
rights of detainees. They remain cutout caricatures in books examining
the tribunals."
