Caterpillar image licensed under Creative Commons by slideshow bobCaterpillar: Not a new word, but a new meaning with a new symbolism. As of yesterday, we aquired the new knowledge that our administrations have avowed and allowed and defended of/to the use of insects (caterpillars in at least one case) to the use of torture of its political prisoners. Definitions: (1) The introduction of insect(s) onto the skin of a detainee/prisoner for the purposes of making the same believe that the insect(s) have a venomous sting. (2) The symbol of the use of covert - and now overt - torture by the US on its political detainees and prisoners. (3) A now legally acceptable practice of cruel and unusual political punishment in the USA.Example: "Did you inform the prisoner that they had a caterpillar in their head bag?". "Yes. Yes we did".Free Counter
