State News editorial cartoonist Mike Ramsey had citizens protesting outside the newspaper offices over a cartoon about U.S. torture camps.

The cartoon, by State News cartoonist Mike Ramsey, featured a World War II veteran saying “I liberated a torture camp back in ’45” to a current soldier.

The soldier, shown holding a bloody baseball bat with a nail at the end, responds by saying “I work in one.”
