Who Is Dr. Stephen Miles and Why Should We Care?

Dr. Stephen Miles is author of the 2006 book Oath Betrayed.  He is an expert on medical ethics during wartime.  His book provides a gloss on Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo as centers of the torture conducted on prisoners of war or merely persons termed detainees.  In the news today is that the U.S. sponsored regime in Afghanistan has been torturing its prisoners and detainees as well.
