**Taxi to the Dark Side**
An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002.

Interesting to see that many of the soldiers involved in this god-less event (funny uh? ;) ) put the blame on superior and the whole hierarchy... but no higher ranked officers were charged, let alone politicians like dick cheney and Tony Yuu who actually theorized these methods of torture...

The current Bush Administration will be seen, mark my words, as one of the worst regime in history in a few years.
What is sad is that we really do not learn from history.

I actually thought GUANTANAMO was the stronger of the two films. I would compare TAXI to a very good "Frontline" documentary. Whereas when I left the theatre after GUANTANAMO, I felt like I had been abused and verbally harassed and threatened. I felt I had viscerally absorbed what those men went through. I was drained.

"Taxi to the Dark Side" hit me like a ton of bricks... "Road" was also good but I never ever forget how I felt after watching the first mentioned film.

Very sad indeed.

I came.. I saw.. And I got lost.
