Susan Lindauer was declared an "enemy non-combatent" and under the vicious, insidious cesspool Patriot Act, Lindauer was left staring into an infinite gallery of mirrors reflecting endless steel bars. She was incarcerated in a Communications Management Unit, a prison for thought and speech crimes where those who's words are considered a danger to the military-industrial myth machine are disappeared.
