[kj] OT-kentucky zombie terror

Re: [kj] OT-kentucky zombie terrorFats,

I saw some of that programme 'yesterday' - it was on C4 early in the
morning. It seems
pretty clear that there won't be many making it out of there sane, or alive
even.

  God that’s scary and depressing – the worlds going mad.
  So this is this freedom of speech Dubya’s so proud of eh?
  Sounds like it’s becoming more of a dictatorship each day.

  I read about a TV programme this week where volunteers were subjected to
the methods used at Guantánamo Bay (I always get the tune Montego Bay in my
head when I hear that)
  Anyway these techniques have been taken from US military manuals.
  Sleep deprivation is illegal under international law, but the US military
(& no doubt the rest of us) are tweaking definitions to get round its usage.
  This is now termed “sleep adjustment’ and if a detainee escapes torture by
taking his own life, he is not a suicide victim but guilty of “manipulative
self-injurious behaviour”
  Also mentions  the Special Removal Unit, a secretive US kidnap team that
abducts people suspected of terrorism and hands them over to countries where
they will be tortured for information.
  One point made that really rung true to me is that “torturers only ever
find out what they want to hear”

  This isn’t me having a dig at the US – it’d be naive to presume this isn’t
going on everywhere and by everyone & has been in various forms since the
year dot.
  I just found it depressingly interesting.

    An eighteen year old in Kentucky has been arrested and faces 2nd degree
felony charges of terroristic threatening for writing a story about zombies.
No, I'm not kidding.  Look out George Romero . . .
