(After Whitmer)
The dominant narrative’s failure to link abuses in the war on terror to practices in domestic prisons perpetuates the racialized violence of the prison industrial complex.
Gordon 2006 (Avery Gordon is professor in sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the author, most recently, of Keeping Good Time: reflections on knowledge, power, and people, “Abu Ghraib: imprisonment and the war on terror” Race Class 2006 48: 54-55)

(after Conley and Sass)
The war on terror is endless because its effects are hidden and removed—status quo leads to cycles of violence that will only end when people understand the vast costs of the war.
Greenwald 2013 (Glen, columnist on civil liberties and US national security for the Guardian and ex-constitutional lawyer) “Washington gets explicit: its 'war on terror' is permanent: Senior Obama officials tell the US Senate: the 'war', in limitless form, will continue for 'at least' another decade - or two” 5-17-13 http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/17/endless-war-on-terror-obama 

Thus, we advocate the deployment of counternarratives of indefinite detention in order to disrupt the dominant story and presidential war power to redact those who are detained. 

(after Mumby) History proves that people oppose wars when they understand the extent of their harms.

FIRST IS THE REDACTED IDENTITY
—Department of Defense 2005, Army Regulation 15–6: Final Report, Investigation into FBI Allegations of Detainee Abuse at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba Detention Facility, 9 June 2005, http://www.defense.gov/news/Jul2005/d20050714report.pdf#page=25

The state reduces detainees to a position of worthless flesh that can be terminated at any time without consequence while simultaneously constructing its victims as dangerous enemies of the state from whom we all need to seek protection.
Pease, 03 (Donald E. Pease, the Avalon Foundation Chair of the Humanities at Dartmouth College, “The Global Homeland State: Bush's Biopolitical Settlement”, Duke University Press, boundary 2 30.3 (2003) 1-18)

The process of redaction is crucial to the production of state-regulated meaning, erasing the victims of the war on terror that they want us to forget: the unnamed civilians and disappeared prisoners of the Global South.
Joseph Pugliese 2013 State Violence and the Execution of Law: Biopolitical caesurae of torture, black sites, drones¶ Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at Macquarie University, Sydney. Page 178

On a practical level, redaction makes it impossible for prisoners to effectively argue their cases, removing any pretense of due process. Evidence of prisoner abuse frequently disappears into the redacted void.
Dixon and Gutierrez 2007 (Wells Dixon, staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Gitanjali Gutierrez, staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights and first lawyer to visit a Guantanamo captive) Motion for Preservation of Torture Evidence in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Majid Khan (Petitioner) Robert M. Gates (Respondent), http://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/Khan_motion_Nov.pdf 

Abu Ghraib and the secret black site prisons of the war on terror do not exist in a vacuum—they are extensions of the domestic prison system’s dedication to the extinguishing of prisoners’ identities in a process of normalization that shapes our daily lives. We must refuse the rhetoric of outrage and understand abuses of detainees within the context of a society that perpetually seeks to normalize.

SECOND IS THE PASSIVE OBSERVER
—“Death Poem,” Jumah al Dossari is a thirty-three-year-old Bahraini who has been held at Guantánamo Bay for more than ?ve years. He has been in solitary confinement since the end of 2003 and, according to the U.S. military, has tried to kill himself twelve times while in custody. 

A primary goal of redaction is keeping information out of the public domain—the idea of state secrecy is abused to maintain a system of criminal unaccountability.
Hajjar 2010 (Lisa, Law and Society Program, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, International Affairs from Georgetown University (1986) and a PhD in Sociology from The American University (1995)) “Grave Injustice: Maher Arar and Unaccountable America” June 24, 2010 Middle East Research and Information Project www.merip.org/mero/mero062410?ip_login_no_cache=47c555793d717e294e097469347163f9 page 1

Redaction makes an accurate public understanding of the war on terror impossible. It mystifies and exploits gaps in information flows to block public knowledge.

Sass (M.A., University of Nevada, Las Vegas) is a doctoral student in the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University. ) “Occultatio: The Bush Administration's Rhetorical War”, Western Journal of Communication, 74:4, 329-350, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10570314.2010.492822, pages 341-2
SOLVENCY
—“They Fight for Peace,” Shaker Abdurraheem Aamer is a Saudi Arabian citizen and British resident who has been detained at Guantánamo Bay since 2002 because of his work in Afghanistan for a Saudi charity—the Al-Haramain Foundation—suspected of funneling money to terrorist organizations. He is a leader among the detainees. 

Thus, we advocate the deployment of these narratives of indefinite detention in order to disrupt the dominant story and presidential war power to redact those who are detained. 

Reclamation of the narrative can delegitimate the dominant meaning system, interrupting the continual reproduction of existing power structures.
Mumby, 1987 (Dennis K, Assistant Professor of Communication at Rutgers University) “The Political Function of Narrative in Organizations” Communication Monographs Vol. 54 pages 113-114

The narrative in the public sphere determines how people react to the war on terror—opposition to the Iraq war arose when the dominant narrative began to fall apart.
