Interesting Documentary
TORTURINGDEMOCRACY.ORG
One of the interviewees, Malcolm Nance, I worked with while an Intelligence Instructor - I taught Russian linguist, he taught Arabic. He is one of the few people I have known whom I would consider to be incorruptible.
The documentary is shocking, and embarrassing for the US. It shows Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld (with their minions) as sadistic, arrogant, power-mad individuals; shows how they have damaged the US's reputation in the world for decades to come and placed our military at risk by disregarding the Geneva Convention; how they have placed the US in the same class as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, North Korea, North Vietnam and many of the other regimes we heretofore considered "evil", with regards to the use of torture; how they disregarded the recommendations of intelligence professionals as to what interogation techniques produced intelligence versus propoganda, and entrusted the detention and interrogation to amateurs.
However, I doubt we will ever see Bush, Cheney, or any of their "flying monkeys" in the dock in the Hague.
