So I found this guys hobby quite interesting.

WIth all of the new about the Government releasing information on how the CIA would sometime gather information if left some horrified. Horrified by either the fact that it was released or horrified on what was released. Well with the release there were no photos due to Media censorship. So what do you do - how about reenact them with Lego? Well that is what this one person has done. He has a whole Flickr account on - he is called: Legofesto

Here is "Waterboarding"

Here is a story on the guy:

Lego Torture Scenes Protest Media Censorship

A few weeks ago, the Obama administration released controversial memos from the Justice Department describing torturous techniques used by CIA agents while interrogating terror suspects. Since then, media and news outlets have been saturated in moral discussions: Should the CIA have tortured the detainees? Should Obama have released the memos?

But few have questioned the media's self-censorship in reporting on these techniques while they were in use.

I dunno I look at these and all I can think is "Dude these are kids toys". I can't imagine that Lego is very happy about this.
