'Torture As A Government Service - the New Technopolitics of Pain'

Many share the fear and loathing of the new torture technolgies deployed
by the US in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. Few however realize that such
techniques were originally pioneered here in the UK and only part of a
new technopolitics being developed for military operations in urban
terrain. The talk will discuss the creation and deployment of these new
technologies and the efforts of academics, NGO's and comedians to return
us to human security as if people mattered.
