(32,139 posts)19. +1 Try finding pics of Occupy police violence now. Or doing a search on DU on torture policy or
the police state, in particular.
Q: Who defends torture and calls torturers, "patriots"?
A: Those complicit in torture and defending it. And there is great complicity across our corporate and MIC-owned government now.
Note how many of these discussions are now missing from DU. I had to go looking for many of the original sources online.

http://election.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5859731Quite a few (seven, I think) of these links don't work anymore. For one of them, I was able to find an alternate link. I put them here anyway so you can see the titles of the missing OP's. With the exception of torture policies under Obama, I can't remember ever finding so many broken links on DU for a single topic.
