I’ll be speaking this Thursday, January 17, at 7pm at the First Unitarian Church (1011 SW 12th, between Salmon and Main) in Portland.
I’m going to read a bit from my book American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination, and discuss the policy decisions behind the United States’ current torture practices. In particular, I’ll be arguing that both political parties share responsibility for the government’s use of torture, and that the coming elections are unlikely to have much effect on its practices.
A reception will follow the talk, and I’ll be on hand to answer questions or sign books.
Please come if you’re in the area, and let your friends know as well.
