The story is HERE. It cannot be stated enough that the new Vice President Suleiman has been implicated in torture as a state policy. He was centrally involved in the extraordinary rendition program set up by Clinton and then vastly expanded by Bush. Indeed, and now even while receiving support as an "interim leader" by the Obama administration, he refuses to even countenance revoking the thirty year old "emergency law" that allows such treatment.
Here's Pearl Jam doing a credible cover of the Dead Kennedys punk rock anti-torture anthem "Bleed for Me." They updated the lyrics so that the song deals with Bush. How utterly distressing that all signs point to the necessity of writing a new version for President Obama.
