The only direct reason for the title of this diary is that to this day I still recall the intense anger I felt as I read most pages of “And The Band Played On.” That same anger engulfed me today as I read each paragraph of The Guardian’s Inside the fight to reveal the CIA’s torture secrets . The first of a three part report.
One really good guy, a few okay people, and a raft of disgusting people, completely unacceptable for public employment. I’ve found a new loathing for … No, I’ve decided not to name those names because I don’t want to deal with any apologists that may show up to comment here. Nor will I post any excerpts (teaser abstracts) from the article because … Just go read the whole thing. Not amazing that Spencer Ackerman wrote it, but amazing that any traditional newspaper would publish it.
(Good thing I have very low blood pressure and therefore, expect that my heart can take reading the next to parts.)
Meet the good guy — Daniel Jones. Recommend reading this and viewing the video after reading part one of Ackerman’s three part article.
