    I’m sitting here trying to find words. Outrage, disgust and deep sorrow just don’t seem to cut it. More than anything, these men deserve justice and reparation for what was done to them - and the countless others who are enduring the same treatment this very day. I pray that the criminals in our government are held accountable for this grave sin one day.
