What a disappointing ending. (Spoilers)

Can't believe I let myself think they were going to try to show that not all detainees in Abu Ghraib and other military prisons around the world are guilty.

Guess it wasn't bad enough that we tortured prisoners, now we're making movies justifying torture. Is this really what we needed? Another movie that paints any and all suspected of acts against our country to be guilty from the start?

Disgraceful film.

Isn't the 'he was actually guilty'-ploy the standard twist in these films?

I remember it being approximately the same thing in "Unthinkable" with Samuel L Jackson (but I might be wrong).

I think it is a decent 'twist' that makes you think one lap around your head again, hopefully coming to the conclusion that torture isn't an acceptable option anyway.
