As TalkLeft has repeatedly argued, prison abuses in Iraq and Guantanamo are merely an extension of the less heralded abuses inflicted on prisoners at home. That point may be starting to sink in, as evidenced by a public forum about the inequities of the criminal justice system held in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area of Iowa last night.
The evening focused on injustice at home and abroad, and how prison abuse in Iraq and the U.S. are closely related. After the speeches and discussion, attendants marched to the Black Hawk County Courthouse to emphasize their message of peace and justice.
