Each with typographical information on the work and publisher verso. Here, the artist denounces a scandal that became known from media reports that American soldiers had used the internationally outlawed torture method of "waterboarding" during the Gulf Wars. For the work, Jenny Holzer used the released, enlarged original documents of the CIA in which the torture method is on record. Holzer blacked out the text blocks except for key words. The works were created extremely elaborately, as each motif was scooped from two different types of paper. Even the writing is not printed, but scooped into shape. Therefore, each work is unique.
