Moms, priests, and peace-minded activists in a small North Carolina town haven't forgotten that a local aviation contractor was a key player in the CIA's “torture taxi” business. “I don’t want to live in a country that acts this way,” said Julia Elsee, 87, protesting at the Johnston County Airport.

     I’m glad we’ve noted that she was 87, so that we don’t think “87 Year Old” might be her first name or something.

       I think it’s like “Jr.” or “Richard III”. She’s the 87th consecutive woman in her family to be named Julia Elsee.

    FWIW, Smithfield NC is also the home town of Ava Gardner.
