"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

The Torturer-In-Chief Lectures Cuba While Gitmo Remains Open
Submitted by A. Magnus on Tue, 2016-03-22 23:00
"Of course, a US president lecturing the president of a nation he is a guest in regarding the arrest of US-backed agitators, while the US maintains a literal torture dungeon just on the other side of the island he is on, couldn’t be any more ironic or hypocritical. The US naval base at Guantanamo Bay hosts a “detention camp,” where prisoners are held, without charge or trial for years, are admittedly tortured through food and sleep deprivation as well as waterboarding – the practice of nearly drowning a victim repeatedly to extract information or false confessions."
