Torture and the Drug War

Radley Balko has an update on the story of Lester Eugene Siler, a Tennessee man who was tortured by police in his own home.

Balko includes links to an audio recording of the torture and a transcript of the tape. I don't have the stomach to listen to this but there it is if you want to hear it.

Here is a picture of Siler and his wife.


Remember, kids, violence in the service of the state is honorable and glorious.
