NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.
As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Big Pharma guy here (>35 years). It does indeed work out that way financially (and for "Big Hospital" too). Just don't give folks the impression that we're in favor of them - RFK Jr. and his stooges make me incandescent with rage. I actually have to meter out the time I spend thinking about them!
