      It’s so disturbing. I actually saw part of an episode of it at the time, and I watched, thinking, “they can’t actually mean that, right?” But it seriously is just footage of these people being tortured, with some vaguely sci-fi looking sets. I have no idea how this got approved, and every so often I’m reminded of it, and I think, “god, was that real?” I’m glad that Mother Jones article exists, because otherwise I think people would never believe it.
