3 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas May 2nd, 2008 in Bush is a cock, Music, Video, WarI may start posting one every Friday or so. Expect music that will span the decades.

After over two years, the U.S. military is finally releasing AP photographer Bilal Hussein. Hussein, guilty of practicing journalism while Arab, had been imprisoned without evidence or charges, and presumably will be released without apology.

Mr. Scalia’s iPod
5 Comments Published by Sabotabby February 26th, 2008 in Culture, Imperialism for Dummies, Music, Torture, WarMother Jones has gotten a hold of some of the music that U.S. troops use to “induce sleep deprivation, “prolong capture shock,” disorient detainees during interrogations—and also drown out screams.”

Outrage overload
20 Comments Published by Sabotabby February 12th, 2008 in Human Rights, Military bullshit, Rights? What rights?, TortureIf we need to have fascism, can it at least be well-dressed fascism?
Okay, so this fellow Scalia has actually managed the unthinkable, which is to change my mind on the ethics of torture. Previously, as you may recall, I had the sane belief that torture was always unethical, under any circumstances. But this good judge [...]

Opportunity will knock you out
6 Comments Published by Sabotabby October 17th, 2007 in Bush is a cock, Imperialism for Dummies, WarWatch out, Palestinians and Israelis! Condoleezza Rice has seen another moment of opportunity:

Yet another way in which America is screwing Iraq
3 Comments Published by Sabotabby September 22nd, 2007 in A million ways to mortgage the future, Big Business, Environment, Imperialism for Dummies, Politics, War, Yay! Science!So we’ve all heard about the Blackwater thing by now, right? After last Sunday, when Blackwater Christofascist mercenaries went on a killing spree, murdering at least 28 people in cold blood, Iraq’s puppet government finally said “enough is enough,” and revoked Blackwater’s license to operate in the country. This isn’t the first time that Blackwater [...]
Psychological Torture: A How-To Guide
0 Comments Published by Sabotabby September 5th, 2007 in "Science", Rights? What rights?, TortureHere’s something neat that you can read in preparation for your inevitable incarceration in Guantanamo Bay—a U.S. Government-funded manual on psychological torture, published in 1961 by John Wiley & Sons.*
