On Thursday there was a protest outdide the Inquirer building at Broad and Callowhill ostensibly against the hiring of John Yoo to write a monthly editorial for the paper on legal issues but also against like everything. I mentioned it a couple days ago, but INCYHBPA Mr. Yoo is the principal author of the "torture memo" ok'd by the Bush Administration authorizing waterboarding among other "harsh interrogation techniques." The demonstration was also part of some bullshit leftist "Day of Action Against Torture" or whatever. But they did do a very realistic mock waterboarding (cool!).
Bro gettin' boarded
Of course, there was a device so that the "inmate" was not actually getting water boarded, it looked like a mask attached to the underside of the towel. But it was a good performance. I think that the 16 people who went and weren't only taking pictures really got a lot out of it, and probably reinforced their almost certainly solid opinions on the subject of torture and the Bush Administration as a whole.
