First sentence: Between the initial version of this chapter, composed in 2000 and published as an article in Chile in 2001, and the significantly rewritten version that appears in this book, much has changed in the discussion of the theme of torture, as the "war on terrorism" has revived debates that one thought were definitively buried in Western democracies.
