The United States is officially dead.

The American Civil Liberties Union has released previously classified excerpts of a government report on harsh interrogation techniques used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. These previously unreported pages detail repeated use of "abusive" behavior, even to the point of prisoner deaths.

The documents, obtained by the ACLU under a Freedom of Information Act request, contain a report by Vice Admiral Albert T. Church, who was tapped to conduct a comprehensive review of Defense Department interrogation operations. Church specifically calls out interrogations at Bagram Air base in Afghanistan as "clearly abusive, and clearly not in keeping with any approved interrogation policy or guidance."

"[An] investigation launched after allegations that an Iraqi prisoner was subjected to torture and abuse at 'The Disco' (located in the Special Operations Force Compound in Mosul Airfield, Mosul, Iraq).

Very soon I will devise a code of conduct for the forcible removal of all United States installations.

The moral principles are these: Where a political union becomes destructive of the ends for which it was formed and, indeed, where the continued existence of that structure poses a threat to social order and the conscience of the people, that structure must be destroyed.

The body of the people will advance and relieve all United States agents of their offices and all United States installations will be closed. Any who obstruct this operation will be immediately neutralized.

The United States is dead. The Revolution is here. We can do it the easy way or the hard way.

Within six months we remove United States Government by force of arms.
