pecunium has an important post about the torture that has been inflicted on citizens of the United States by citizens of the United States for the past three years, without charge.

"No human contact, unless he was being interrogated.

No light.

Nothing to read.

Nothing to sleep on but a metal slab.

The only person in a naval brig; locked into a 10' cell.

For three years."

Go read this. I'm not a citizen of the United States so I don't know what more I can do beyond calling attention to it - I have a situation at home to try to aprehend and fix. But I can say it does not much matter to me that Padilla is a US citizen, no one should be held without charge like that, no one should be treated in such a reprehensible manner. This needs to stop. Everywhere.

More here, plus a little something extra.
