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.
