Now, whether or not you support President Bush, whether or not you support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, whether or not you share the sentiments that we are fighting "evil" in the world by engaging in these conflicts - there is a new documentary that you should see.
It's produced by PBS and it's called Torturing Democracy. It is a fascinating and in depth look at the legal and rhetorical underpinnings of our government's strategies and tactics for interrogation and detention of "terrorists." It is, in my opinion, appalling and very difficult to watch, but most of all, it is important.
So, if you have a spare hour or so, please, watch it. At very least, this is a production partially sponsored by your tax dollars (as it is part of PBS), so you can watch where your money goes.
