PHILADELPHIA: Thursday May 28: 5:00 pm Protest @ Philadelphia Inquirer for giving a regular column to torture professor John Yoo. Waterboarding demonstration. 400 N. Broad Street. philadephia@worldantwait.org

So, er, Happy National Day Of Resistance To U.S. Torture Day, everybody! With Dick Cheney still blathering dogs of war all over the place and John Yoo finding gainful employ, fans of things like “resistance actions” and other protest activities will find a lot to love all over the country today. And Philly, of course, is no exception. We’re not sure who or what will be waterboarded outside the Inky building today, but you can probably bet it won’t be the suave, Brooks Brothers-clad Leprechaun with floppy flowing hair that you’d like to see succumb to bucket, board and towel. Sigh. Even so, good to see the heat continuing to get turned up. Fight the power, mock waterboarders!
