Torture

Seeking first-person or eye-witness accounts of Twin Cities torture for article tonight.

As part of Firedoglake's ongoing coverage of the repression, torture, and State violence at the RNC, I'm writing another piece this evening describing the official violence in the Twin Cities this last week. Wednesday night I described what Jason and Elliot endured (see "Ramsey County's Contempt For Justice: Tell Them To Stop The Torture" at PDX or Twin Cities Indy, or at FDL).

Editorial Cartoon by Mike Flugennock:

So, I wake up early one morning recently; as usual, my wife's already awake and has MSNBC's "Morning Joe" babbling on the TV. In the thinning fog of my fading REM state I hear Barack Obama telling us how he plans to continue upholding the corporate/military agenda, after which I can just make out an unhinged denunciation of John McCain for being too "Liberal". A gaggle of pundits ranging from tepid centrist to shrieking fascist have a bitching, shouting argument over who'll do the best job of bombing and torturing for the next four years.
