Check out a powerful editorial by
Mark Morford titled “Fun Bits About American Torture: In
many ways, the U.S. is now just as inhumane and brutal as any Third
World regime. Oh well?”, published in the San Francisco Chronicle,
12/16. [click here]
“This is something we must know, acknowledge, take to
heart and not simply file away as some sort of murky, disquieting
unknowable that’s best left to scummy lords of the government
underworld. We must not don the blinders and think America is always,
without fail, the land of the perky and the free and the benevolent.
Horrific torture is very much a part of who we are, right now. Deny it at your peril. Accept it at your deep discontent.”
