YouTube Removed

That 30-second clip from "The 4400" depicting "waterboarding" has been removed from YouTube. Not sure why. Probably because it's a clip from a TV show and the network decided it wasn't "fair use." Sorry. Hiding the truth about what the government is doing is integral to this administration's successful use of illegal torture. If anyone finds any other video dramatizations of the Bush-authorized techniques - "cold cells" and "waterboarding" particularly - please email them. As we saw at Abu Ghraib, hideous violence can be made to sound inane through euphemism. Photos bring the truth home. That's why the images are kept from you. And in a free society, the media exists to propagate them. And, before Malkinians blog-swarm me, I have also shown and linked to the evil of Islamist violence and torture as well.
