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.

As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
