The United States of America: every Sunday news show proudly features a torturer or, at best, an advocate of torture http://t.co/kpYsNiRnj8

Torturers, apologists for torturers, pardoners of torturers. TV makes room for everyone's voices. Except those of the men who were tortured.

I need to make this disclaimer. All of our spaces have always been & continue to be infiltrated by CPD. It has been more intense lately.
