Artist/Astronomer Exhibits Photos Of Spy Satellites

Posted by kdawson on from the move-along-nothing-to-see-here dept.

daemonburrito writes "Trevor Paglen, the photographer and co-author of 'Torture Taxi: On the Trail of the CIA's Rendition Flights' and 'I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me,' has an exhibit showing in Berkeley of 189 photos of secret US satellites (exhibit page here). Wired says, 'In taking these photos, Paglen is trying to draw a metaphorical connection between modern government secrecy and the doctrine of the Catholic Church in Galileo's time.'"

      Exactly. What exactly do these treacherous fools get out of tyring to humiliate his own government? Maybe he should go live in Afghanistan or somewhere if he hates the US so much.
