Bruce Springsteen's Angry Patriotism
By Fiachra Gibbons, Guardian UK
"The Boss explains why there is a critical, questioning and angry patriotism at the heart of his new album, Wrecking Ball."
From the School of the Americas Watch:
The annual vigil to close down the SOA/WHINSEC will take place from November 18-20, 2011 in Columbus, Georgia, home to the School of the Americas. Read More
The School of the Americas (SOA) in Fort Benning, GA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in interrogation tactics, psychological warfare, and counterinsurgency techniques, and its graduates have tortured, raped and killed union and student organizers, teachers, clergy and others working for human rights in Latin America.
In a dramatic protest, 42 activists with Witness Against Torture were arrested this afternoon at the U.S. Capitol. The protest comes on the eve of the since-voided deadline President Obama had set for closing the prison camp at Guantanamo.
