The funny thing about “knives out for ODNI” is that it’s DHS that should be abolished and the earth underneath salted.
Reminder: Antifa is not a thing.
Granting ICRC access to detainees was a standard risk mitigation measure I used to recommend for U.S. work with military partners.
Israel’s refusal to grant ICRC access after Oct 7th was a major red flag—especially after the Biden administration pressed the issue.

Listening to the 9/11 prosecution team once again defend/ promote torture - even though everyone knows they’re losing any chance at a trial - really highlights the accountability vacuum that got us to the present day. The current anti-law DOJ stands on the shoulders of the Gitmo MC prosecution team.
The headline here is that the US govt publicly (last week in open court in front of media and observers) used detainee letters to their families, obtained only via @icrc.org functions, as evidence in favor of using torture-acquired evidence in a death penalty trial.
@icrc.org, any thoughts?
Last week, I had the great honor of giving the annual Uma and Ashis Nandy Lecture at UC San Diego - entitled "Worst of the Worst: The Long War on Rights."
