When I read about one detainee being sodomized with a broomstick or lamp it reminded me of Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant who was brutally sodomized by a toilet plunger be police in NY. These practices may be more indicative of this country than we care to acknowledge.  If so, there is a lot more that would need examining. BABYLON SYSTEM IS A VAMPIRE, SUCKIN THE BLOOD OF THE SUFFERRAS   From today's NYT: Emmett Till, a Chicagoan who was visiting relatives in Money, Miss., that August, was dragged from his bed, beaten, shot and dropped in the Tallahatchie River after he had been accused of whistling at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, in her family's store. The image of Emmett's battered body in an open coffin at his funeral in Chicago became a galvanizing moment in the civil rights movement, particularly for many Northerners removed from the brutalities of the Jim Crow era.   SEEM LIKE TOTAL DESTRUCTION THE ONLY SOLUTION     Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
