You might have noticed that I had sworn off paying attention in this space to the U.S.A.'s participation in torture, mainly because when I read about that stuff, I start vibrating like a tuning fork, and it can become violent. So I haven't done a lot of reading, closing my eyes like any good uninformed American to the repeated headlines that have documented our appalling reputation in the Muslim world.
This one sneaked up on me. Just browsing some of my favorite sites, after a week of being snowed under -- both literally and figurately -- I stumbled innocently enough on Eric Alterman's summary of Torture Incorporated, a.k.a., the Bush administration, with more illustrative links than Idi Amin would have a stomach for.
It is this stuff that makes me actively hate.
