last time I googled Rob Hockersmith someone by that name turned up in a (totally unrelated) news story in Leesburg, VA.
Is Steve Turney really spelled Tierney? (i don't know, and i'm not being a spelling nazi, in this case it makes a difference if anyone is searching for him.)
note on Rob: i thought he was nice, he took my side when other people wanted to stand up and be mean. does anyone remember when he brought a boom box (yes that is the proper term) to a Saturday night "love rap" (when we sat in a huge square on the floor in the back of the main room). he played "sweet emotion", and sweet it was after not hearing music for months. then someone else, probably exec staff, came in and gave him shit for it and made him shut it off. i wonder if he was being subversive on purpose. so i do not reveal his location in order to put him in a frying pan. however, i wish more staff members would come around and tell what they have to tell. (Don Smith has an excellent paper about the whole thing of being staff.)
nevertheless, regarding all adult staff, you must step up for the crimes you commit. i'm all for blowing the cover right off. as has been discussed before, none of them are contacting survivors to see how we are. now that's not true, we have several ex-staff members around, who do really good things, such as Don's paper (i'm pretty sure it's on the ISAC site).
same as with Abu Ghraib, the little guys have been made to take the heat, when they are factually a part of something ordered down from a big guy. it is correct to pay for the crimes you commit, however, uncover the chain of command.
but then there are, as you and others have mentioned assholes like John Gugliamo. but if he was a big dumb retard, as has also been suggested, who is it we really want to get?
lately i have been drawing the line at exec staff: they were in a certain position, and not fresh off the brainwashing ranks like junior & senior staff. however i am open to discussion and revision on that.
but then i am back to: step up for the crimes you commit. if junior or senior staff were ignorant of the brainwashing aspects, that might be understandable, but physical and emotional abuse is what it is.
sorry i am going in circles! i could get a lot trippier on the whole justice system, etc., or on the state of consciousness regarding drugs, paranoia of the state, and other tangents.
