"The thinning of the war function and the thickening of the police function"

Biopower wields not just the power of mass destruction of life (such as that threatened by nuclear weapons) but also individualized violence. When individualized in its extreme form, biopower becomes torture....Torture is today becoming and ever more generalized technique of control, and at the same time is becoming increasingly banalized....Torture is one central point of contact between police action and war; the torture techniques used in the name of police prevention take on all the characteristics of military action. This is another face of the state of exception and the tendency for political power to free itself from the rule of law.

from Multitude, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (forthcoming August 2004, written in 2003)
