Psychiatric torture. It's not just for Russians, anymore.
On March 23, [2006], police and emergency medical personnel stormed Marina Trutko's home, breaking down her apartment door and quickly subduing her with an injection of haloperidol, a powerful tranquilizer. One policeman put her 78-year-old mother, Valentina, in a storage closet while Trutko, 42, was carried out to a waiting ambulance. It took her to the nearby Psychiatric Hospital No. 14.
The former nuclear scientist, a vocal activist and public defender for several years in this city 70 miles north of Moscow, spent the next six weeks undergoing a daily regimen of injections and drugs to treat what was diagnosed as a "paranoid personality disorder."
"She is also very rude," psychiatrists noted in her case file.
Others have been subject to similar treatment because they suffered from "an acute sense of justice." Nikolai Skachkov, who protested police brutality and official corruption in the Omsk region of Siberia, was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation last year because investigators said they suspected he was suffering from "an acute sense of justice." He spent six months in a closed psychiatric facility where he was diagnosed as paranoid
George Bush can now seize anyone he wants to and have them interred anywhere that he likes and tortured. Now we know why Haliburton was building those big detention camps inside the US. Gives new meaning to his long, deep look into Putin's soul, doesn't it?

Of course, the same could be said for most of your posters, couldn't it? And I'm making sure all my papers are in order, that my kids' inheritance is safe. While the laws are still in force.
