The torturers will gather in Hades.
There will be no pleasantries.
They will be stripped of all honors.
They will be awakened
to the baseness of their crimes.
They will be purged of all justifications.
Their smiles will be banished.
They will see their true faces.
They will be surrounded by the screams
of their victims.
They will understand who they are.
Before you go — An urgent appeal for your support
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when our journalism is most necessary, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to worsening political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 4 days and still need to raise $32,000. Please make a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical time!
