Weathering the storm
If the theatrosphere were the ocean, there are lots of new ships never seen before gliding in to dock with glistening new hulls. At the same time, others who we admire for their beauty and strength are leaving our shores perhaps never to be seen again. There are squalls out on the water, rocking this one and that one. Pirates, jumping from boat to boat, perhaps doing damage, perhaps not. I hear cannons in the distance, but I can't tell if hulls are cracking and blistering or if it's lots of bluster.
Meanwhile, our lives go on in the real world. All of us artists struggling to make art and find places to be. I'm not sunk yet, though some days I feel like heading to dry land and studying barrelmaking or public accounting.

torture
"Zubaydah was stabilized at the nearest hospital, and the F.B.I. continued its questioning using its typical rapport-building techniques. An agent showed him photographs of suspected al-Qaeda members until Zubaydah finally spoke up, blurting out that "Moktar," or Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, had planned 9/11. He then proceeded to lay out the details of the plot. America learned the truth of how 9/11 was organized because a detainee had come to trust his captors after they treated him humanely.
It was an extraordinary success story. But it was one that would evaporate with the arrival of the C.I.A's interrogation team. At the direction of an accompanying psychologist, the team planned to conduct a psychic demolition in which they'd get Zubaydah to reveal everything by severing his sense of personality and scaring him almost to death."
