    This is horrific

    But I still can't help wondering why Salon has never written about prisoner abuse in California. Oh wait, that's because you supported Gray Davis, who treated the term like an oxymoron.

    By the way, did anyone notice that the California prison health care system was just placed in receivership by a federal court because the poor level of medical care available to prisoners was judged to amount to a human rights abuse?

    Chuck Graner was trained in the American prison system. I hope we can get to a point where we oppose the abuse of ALL prisoners, because that's really the only way we're going to prevent things like this.
