The REAL 'horror' in this movie...(why you MUST see it)!


As the movie progressed - I became more and more horrified at the true meaning of what was happening. The nightmare that the Bush Administration created for the world was so horrifying it boggled the mind!

We perpetrated the torture and the abuses of human being on a level never before sanction by a constitutional moral county like the United States! Torture, rape and even outright cold blooded murder became "acceptable" collateral damage in a war of ideologies with-OUT any sense of morality or international legality!!! And all of it neatly packaged, redacted and sanitized for a public which wanted the job done and was willing to close their eyes to the techniques used, squandering morality and leadership to irrational fears!!!

This movie stands as an indictment to the shredding of not only our BILL OF RIGHT and Constitution but also stands as witness to the dismantling of many of the international law we helped put in place to assure that during wars and other conflicts, countries could maintain some sense of sanity and some sense of human decency!!!

In another time and place, the men who were the architects of these human abuses would be tried as war criminals but they are sadly allowed to slip through the cracks because we sold out integrity and decency to fears.

Our founding fathers are weeping....
