Trevor vs. The Torture Taxi

Trevor Paglen is a scholar and artist who investigates the California prison-industrial complex and secret military bases in his work as an "experimental geographer." In his new book, Tracking the Torture Taxi, Paglen uses the methods of "21st century participatory journalism" (including a Google Earth image of a CIA interrogation facility) to uncover the network of private planes (such as Aero Contractors of Smithfield, NC) that whisk people off to secret prisons without oversight.

good post, jonp. These people have brass balls to be investigating this stuff. I am expecting the black helicopters to land just because I am reading about it. Fascinating and important stuff - it will take awhile to sort through it all. Thanks for the post.
