Guantanamo ‘Suicides’
In 2006 the U.S. government announced that three prisoners at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay had committed suicide. The government rejected calls for an outside probe into the causes of death. Now, nearly four years later, evidence is mounting that the three prisoners did not commit suicide, but were murdered during torture sessions. Four […]
Stay classy, morons
I’m still a bit sick, so you’re getting treated to more video goodness: Seriously, how pathetic are the Republican Senators for releasing garbage like that? (To be fair, they do get kudos for using Carl Orff’s ‘O Fortuna’ as the soundtrack.) It’s not like closing Gitmo means releasing convicted terrorists into American cities. What it […]
Mental health break: Kudos to Obama & shoe throwers
Obama has been doing some good stuff these last couple of days. He’s ordered Gitmo closed as well as the CIA’s semi-secret “black sites”. He’s overturned an executive order by Bush that would have prevented many of the Bush era documents from being released publicly, it also limits himself and future Presidents from putting those […]

The book, “The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals,” cites International Red Cross reports on the America’s treatment of prisoners. Here are some excerpts from […]
Canada weary of torture-happy U.S.
Canada’s government recently put the U.S. on a watch list of countries where prisoners risk being subject to torture. (h/t Andrew Sullivan) This sort of international reputation can seriously damage our country’s ability to stop the bad guys. What’s the likelihood Canada will let us near one of their prisoners now? The same is true […]
