When the USA wants someone tortured but doesn’t want to do it in-house, there’s always out-sourcing. And there’s a plus: it doesn’t matter whether the prisoner is innocent or guilty.
The part of the “War on Terror” the Bush Administration desperately does not want you to know…

Robotomy
Animatronic replicons,
machines made in human form to perform
intricate manual and mental functions,
doing mundane deeds
and repetitive work
with more cold efficiency
than flesh and blood,
Without the guilt
of tainting souls
with slavery’s scars,
But what becomes the relationship
between creator and created
when convenience gets corrupted
into creeping dependence,
and society comes under
unspoken robotic rule?
What delicate strain
is in place, then,
to replace spirit-indwelt compassion?
Garbage in, garbage out,
a programmed answer
for every anomaly,
But within life’s new general order,
does love still compute?
