We constantly fail to acknowledge the atrocities of war , street violence, and human rights abuses that our own government is committing.
This is more than an interesting story appearing on TRUTHOUT from the DAILY TAKE.. The idea that for Americans to understand torture and the effects of American policy, we have to see the most brutal of scenes..
It bring sup one question in my mind: Have we become numb to torture, that even if we did see it we’d look away and not even care?
We have been handed torture fest films for a decade since 9/11.. TV shows glorify hardcore violence against someone for the purposes of extracting information (think 24) .. how many SAW films did they make now?
So when we really see the real thing… do we even notice anymore?
What kind of a society are we in?
We did change since 9/11. That is no lie..
Americans Need to See the Violence of War, Police and Torture
