HW 18: Torture in the USA

I read a blog written on Feministe called Torture in the USA and I did not like this blog because the basis of it was just a little disturbing.http://www.feministe.us/blog/. This blog reports people kept in secret foreign prisons with no connections to lawyers or legitimate rules of the law. In these foreign prisons, the guards watch over the prisoners with cattle prods, stun guns and dogs in case they get out of line or act up. The guards use foul and unnecessary language when talking to the prisoners yelling out orders at them just to watch them suffer. Many of them men are ordered to strip naked while doing the orders for the guards so that when they do not do it right and a dog bites them of they get shot with the stun gun, it does more damage to their body. I acknowledge that it is important for people to know about the secret prisons and what goes on in them so that they can be stopped but it is just a disturbing article to be written about and they include a video showing what exactly goes on. I also think that Feministe does not have the reputation to be writing about prison camps and the brutality that goes on in them. It just seems weird that this blog was written on this particular page especially with such a disturbing video.
