“Military gear and military interrogation tactics are leaving the battlefield, hear me America, and are now being unleashed on American citizens,” Beck said on his television program. “How long before suspects are going to get waterboarded? Gosh this sounds crazy! It is hard to fathom that a facility such as Homan Square even exists. But what is harder to fathom is that we as a society are not outraged by any of it.”
The Guardian this week revealed the location of a secret interrogation facility in Chicago’s Homan Square where suspects are illegally “disappeared.” They are reportedly kept off official databases and denied access to legal representation for 12 to 24 hours while undergoing beatings and other interrogation techniques. One suspect was only 15 years old, and another was reportedly pronounced dead after being found unresponsive in an interrogation room.“The militarization of the American police continues to march on, and this one is a huge milestone,” Beck said. “This is an unprecedented assault on individual liberty. All Americans can and must stand up. But it seems like all we can do is say, ‘Eh."
