CIA interrogators rode on a 73-year-old grandmother's back as they anally raped her with a broom handle

The American Civil Liberties Union obtained a series of US defence documents that showed that the unit’s personnel had been investigated repeatedly over their alleged involvement in a catalogue of abuses. In one case, taskforce interrogators were said to have forced a 73-year-old woman to crawl around a room while a man sat on her back, before forcing a broom handle into her anus. Two of her fingers were broken. The woman, a retired teacher, said her interrogators demanded to know the whereabouts of her son and husband, both of whom she said were dead.

I considered not reblogging this because that headline is, frankly, hard to read.  It’s not a pleasant way to start a Monday morning.  

But then I clicked through and read the article.  And then I read the FOIA report the ACLU got exposing this story.  And the headline just scratches the surface of what was done to this elderly lady who was innocent all along.

So then I came back to tumblr and looked at the ten notes this post has as of my clicking “reblog,” and I realized I couldn’t not reblog it.  While there’s nothing tangible I can do to help this woman, I can at least let a few more people know the war crimes to which she was subjected.  

It was done by the U.S. government.  

And it was categorically, unquestionably, disgustingly wrong.

Your daily Death to America.  Reminder that Obama is furiously persecuting the people who are trying to stop this shit.

Whatever my feelings towards Invisible Children’s work on Uganda, I can’t deny the remarkable splash the organization has made with Kony 2012, its recent awareness-raising video. The numbers say it all: it was viewed by over 55 million people worldwide…
