Well, what a nice double black eye. First, McClatchy reveals more details on what has long been known, that we’ve thrown a bunch of innocent people into the hellhole called Guantanamo, and the Afghan staging prisons on the way to Gitmo.
Second, we’ve got Abu Ghraib-type abuse in some of those same Afghan prisons. That includes beatings, wall shacklings and various forms of retributive violence.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
