DESCRIPTION:Release of the new CIA torture movie 'Zero Dark Thirty' has raised a ruckus 
 within multiple factions of America's ruling class, which cringe at 
 international exposure of the workings of President Obama's assassination 
 program. \n\nVoices of conscience will protest outside of theater 
 screenings, and use this opportunity to engage viewers in discussion of 
 what they've witnessed, how it affects them, and whether it's possible to 
 resist the culture of violence Zero Dark Thirty promotes.\n \nWe as a 
 people are brutalized and degraded by the celebration and justification of 
 torture. \n\n"There's one particular nightmare that Americans need to face: 
 in the first decade of the twenty-first century we tortured people as 
 national policy. One day, we're going to have to confront the reality of 
 what that meant, of what effect it had on its victims and on us, too, we 
 who condoned, supported, or at least allowed it to happen, either passively 
 or with guilty (or guiltless) gusto. If not, torture won't go away. -- 
 Peter Van Buren, 'How Zero Dark Thirty Sanitizes Torture' \n\nUltimately, 
 this film occasions a debate about fundamental human values. 'Taxi to the 
 Dark Side' director Alex Gibney finds the subject of torture "one of the 
 great moral issues of our time" and asks us to confront the American lust 
 for revenge. Does the murder of Osama Bin Ladin truly represent what Acting 
 Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Morell calls "one of 
 the most significant achievements in our history"? \n\nWe say NO. Join our 
 orange jumpsuit contingent (representing the prisoners remaining at 
 Guantanamo) to distribute fliers, hold signs and banners, and loudly 
 proclaim that NO! Torture is always illegal, immoral, and unacceptable.\n
