Jennifer Harbury's investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992; she told the story of his torture and murder in Searching for Everardo. For over a decade since, Harbury has used her formidable legal, research, and organizing skills to press for the U.S. government's disclosure of America's involvement in harrowing abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. A draft of this book had just been completed when the first photos from Abu Ghraib were published; tragically, many of Harbury's deepest fears about America's own abuses were graphically confirmed by those horrific images.

This urgently needed book offers both well-documented evidence of the CIA's continuous involvement in torture tactics since the 1970s and moving personal testimony from many of the victims. Most important, Harbury provides solid, convincing arguments against the use of torture in any circumstances: not only because it is completely inconsistent with all the basic values Americans hold dear, but also because it has repeatedly proved to be ineffective: Again and again, 'information' obtained through these gruesome tactics proves unreliable or false. Worse, the use of torture by U.S. client states, allies, and even by our own operatives, endangers our citizens and especially our troops deployed internationally.

Great sensitive skin sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Love this! I have sensitive skin. this did not sting my eyes, or burn my cheeks. Left no white cast. I'm not noticing any scent. It just feels like bare skin, it's not heavy, drying, oily or sticky. No pilling. Went on smooth, not streaky, looks like skin once dried down, not patchy. I hope they keep this in stock forever!

Hydrating Itch Relief for Sensitive, Reactive Skin
I recently dealt with an allergic reaction that left me with red, intensely itchy hives across my body. Medication helped calm most of the symptoms, but this itch relief balm from Aveeno made a noticeable difference in soothing the lingering itch and rehydrating my irritated skin. The formula is very concentrated, so only a small amount is needed to cover a large area, and it begins to work quickly. There is no added fragrance, which is ideal when your skin is already reactive and sensitive. The jar is generously sized, and the wide opening makes it easy to dip your fingertips in and smooth the balm over affected areas without fuss. The texture spreads well, absorbs cleanly, and leaves the skin feeling comforted rather than coated. I found it especially helpful during the recovery phase when my skin still felt dry and unsettled. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with post‑reaction itch or general irritation.

Really good eczema lotion for 4 month old baby
Love this lotion. I’ve been using it for almost two weeks now on my baby who has eczema, I didn’t wanna waste money on the baby version because what if it isn’t as powerful so I got this one and now my baby’s cheeks aren’t red and spotty. Honestly didn’t think it would work but it’s working great, I add it all over his body especially his face after he showers and it helps his itchiness at night. During the day I add some if the redness looks like it’s coming back and it ends up going away mid day. I’ve used about 4-5 other lotions that didn’t work so I’m very happy about this one.

LOVE THIS!
I have allergies and overall just super sensitive skin. Sometimes I just randomly get itchy or get hives. I bought this during a time I was trying all the lotions just to find something that would help. To be honest, I shower in the morning and apply this and it helped my skin tremendously. I wouldn’t be itchy after showers. Hives were few and far between.

AMAZING! Works better than my RX
After being prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% to help with my eczema I felt it wasn't doing enough. Healing time was slow and the scaling itching was still bad at night. I don't know why it took me so long to try the Aveeno Eczema line, I really wish I did sooner. This product is AMAZING! I started using this twice a day AM/PM after washing my face with cold water only and stopped using the hydrocortisone completely. My skin healed in 5 days!
