There were protests, not huge but not handfuls, either. I protested in Salt Lake City prior to the invasion of Iraq by W’s gang. Several hundred people there… a bit of news coverage.
But, none of the protests around the country were enough to shift the national narrative based on lies.

However, the history of our entire country will also 'not go down well,', relative to our government's support for the pervasive use of the torture of Iraqi detainees in prisons held in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and other 'unknown sites.' And how did we US citizens respond to the trumped up rationale used for invading Iraq that resulted in the predictable destruction of the lives, homes and villages of the Iraqis? Barely a peep of protest was heard as we all went about our lives as if we had no power or responsibility for these abhorrent actions. The APA's actions occurred partially because we allowed our government to take despicable actions with nary a protest. There's plenty of shame and regret to be shared by us all. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/guantanamo-bay-torture/ Joan [email protected] When next they write the history of the APA, the first decade of the 21st century will not go down as its finest decade.

Well, he issued his report and it doesn't look good. The NY Time has an article on the report as well as a link to the report; see: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/11/us/psychologists-shielded-us-torture-program-report-finds.html?_r=0 and http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/09/us/document-report.html The report is 542 pages long, so if you had nothing to do this weekend, you're in luck: you've a lot of reading to do. Don't expect a happy ending. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
