Yesterday's massacre of civilians in Afghanistan reminded me of Fernando Botero's message to the Berkeley community on the eve of "Berkeley Says NO To Torture" week.
The artist's Abu Ghraib paintings, which he donated to UC Berkeley in 2007, will be shown at Santiago's Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos from March 15 to June 24, 2012.
In a demonstration of almost incomprehensible hypocrisy, Berkeley Law dean and torture apologist Christopher Edley participated in an introductory panel to the exhibit.
