A bunch of book reviews by some person named Scott Neigh. I've read a few. They were helpful.
He wrote a song about it: http://davidrovics.bandcamp.com/track/spies-are-reading-my-blog
"The image of Fahad’s torture is not that of a person being led around an interrogation room on a dog leash, or held in a stress position with heavy-metal music blasting. It is a person sitting still in a small cell, slowly deteriorating in a modern prison on the outskirts of a small Colorado town."
For a balancing view, see Timothy Snyder's upcoming The New York Review article:

"But are the protests really as anti-nationalist and class conscience as we might hope? Or are they merely an outlet to the rising frustration and narrowing options for BiH’s youth? I talked to Minel Abaz, a student activist and organizer from Sarajevo, to find out."
Shawn Wilbur answers questions about mutualism over at reddit's /r/DebateAnarchism. (This is a link to the handy table-formatted version.)
"Simply saying we should improve the quality and reduce the duration of work doesn’t allow us to ask whether that work needs to exist at all."
"giving workers voice within the institution of wage labor can never fundamentally call the premises of that institution into question. For that, you need the real right of Exit, not just from particular jobs but from the labor market as a whole."
"The 2014 unrest in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a series of demonstrations and riots that began in the northern town of Tuzla on 4 February 2014, but quickly spread to multiple cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina."
I read revision 595164490: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_unrest_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina&oldid=595164490
"Libcom.org's reading guide on anarchism, anarchist theorists and their development through history."
Mostly the classics.
"In short, we are dealing with a rebellion against nationalist elites: the people of Bosnia have finally understood who their true enemy is: not other ethnic groups, but their own leaders who pretend to protect them from others. It is as if the old and much-abused Titoist motto of the "brotherhood and unity" of Yugoslav nations acquired new actuality."
I'm never going to read all of these.
"Now Bosnia is really joining Europe — but from quite another perspective as the one originally imagined by the European bureaucrats: its squares are burning like those in Greece, Spain and Turkey."
“There have not been very many terrorism cases that the government or the state hasn’t won in this country, which should tell you something right there. This is a huge, huge victory against the war on terror, which ought to be re-examined.”

On police unions.
"Police don’t have to enjoy breaking up protests; they don’t have to be racists or hate homeless people. But once they decide to do their jobs, institutional exigencies overwhelm personal volition."
"The homeless man arrested for public intoxication has been treated more punitively than the Wall Street trader whose avarice breeds homelessness. This is the system the police, prison guards, and the border patrol maintain."
"The cop who rallies for collective bargaining today will be protecting Goldman Sachs tomorrow."
I'm glad to see this perspective represented on a popular news site.
“What would be good for most people — regardless of marital status — is a more equitable distribution of wealth in this country, access to health care, education, and livable-wage jobs,” Essig said. “Marriage is, once these things are achieved, a personal choice. But until everyone has access to these things, marriage is a sign of privileging a minority of Americans.”
This interview is the most clarifying account of the Ukrainian situation I've found yet.
"Asheville Fm radio, based in western North Carolina, aired a fascinating interview with an anarcho-syndicalist named Denys, from the Autonomous Worker’s Union in Ukraine. In the interview, Denys debunks many of the myths surrounding the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine, and explains motives behind the stories and propaganda being circulated around the protests."
