Christopher Hitchens, the tough minded journalist and social critic, undergoes torture waterboarding for Vanity Fair and talks and writes about the experience.
Read some commentary about his effort here.
Eddie Roth writes about education, social justice, public safety, transportation, legal affairs and historic preservation. He joined the Post-Dispatch editorial page in 2008 after six years as an editorial writer with the Dayton Daily News. But he is not new to St. Louis. Eddie grew up in Webster Groves and south St. Louis County. He's a lawyer who for many years practiced with a downtown firm, and was active in civic affairs, including serving a term on the St. Louis Police Board. He and his wife, Jeanne, and their three daughters, Emily, Julia and Alice, live in the Shaw Neighborhood.
When it comes to community organizing, he endorses Quentin Crisp's advice: Rather than keeping up with the Joneses, it's better to pull them down to your level.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Adam S wins another I HEART Eric Mink t-shirt
“BobZ says, “If only the Chinese Uighurs had not gone to Kandahar … well they might’ve gotten to Turkey eventually.”
Adam S. has intentionally omitted the part about the Uighurs receiving machine gun training. Read again — machine gun training — in a war zone. Read again — Adam S omitted the part about the machine gun training. Must not have fit the narrative the Uighurs were innocent, eh?
Further, he intentionally misstates that the Uighurs were found innocent. The truth is they were classified as “no longer enemy combatants” or “NLEC.” Far different from innocent.
How does he jump from his assertinons being exposed as fradulent to then accusing others of favoring torture? Or is more correctly — how does Adam S. become so presumptuous to think he speaks for most Americans?
Go back to getting your butt kicked sideways by Alex Mayer… and wear that t-shirt proudly.
