Greenwald gets it right (again). The way the U.S. government redefines words willy-nilly, and the way editors and journalists all over the country follow suit like slavish little puppy-dogs, is ... well, Orwellian would be hackneyed, right? So let's say, Eric Arthur Blairesque.

It not torture because Jack Baier And Dick Cheney says its not.

Torture and death by abuse and neglect is also becomming common place in American jails and prisons. Just a few days ago for instance, in the Florida Pinellas County jail, a mentally ill patient was jailed instead of hospitalised. She was denied medication and not watched for two or three days and was found dead in her cell. Cause of death - electrolite imbalance. The jails' medical and inmate watch logs had been forged, and the cameras had clearly shown that she had not been watched. They are being sued. These are fairly common ocurrances in the state of Florida. There are more Florida travesties on jackboot.com

Posted by: Gnarly | Friday, August 27, 2010 at 05:46 PM
