Bush the ‘humanitarian’, FBI director exposed, CA. prison torture, male rape in military

Abby Martin calls out the University of Denver for its outrageous decision to honor former President George W. Bush with the ‘Improving the Human Condition’ award. Then we dissect the track record of new FBI Director James Comey as Obama’s latest continuation of the Bush era, citing his support for indefinite detention and torture. Then the latest updates in the ongoing hunger strike by California prison inmates, and Rachel Meeropol, senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional rights, talks about the physical and emotional effects of solitary confinement. Finally, a discussion on sexual assault in the military and talks to victim Brian Lewis, president of ‘Men Recovering from Military Sexual Trauma’, about his experience and what people can do to change rape culture in the military.
