Torture OK, Beauty Of Touch Banned

U.S. prepares to face U.N. on torture as Amnesty report blasts 'war crimes'

"The Amnesty report reviews several cases where U.S. detainees held in Afghanistan and Iraq have died as a result of torture. The group also lambasts U.S. use of electro-shock weapons, inhuman and degrading conditions of isolation in "super-max" security prisons and abuses against women in the prison system -- including sexual abuse by male guards, shackling while pregnant and even in labor."

Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, my webhosting provider has decided that "The Beauty of Touch"--an art film with nude dancers that doesn't even show genitals, much less genitals in action--is obscene, and I've been forced to remove all links to it.
