Figured I'd start a topic on this since it's airing tomorrow night and I've been looking forward to seeing it. For those of you (like me) that have been disappointed with the offerings HBO has given us this fall, this looks like it's going to at least partially going to make up for it. Directed by the guy who did Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room, it looks like another great "inside the war" documentary that's airing on HBO.

Quote:
| In the year following 9/11, the Bush Administration's promise to root out terrorists abroad took a perverse, unsettling turn, with the U.S. military embarking on a policy of humiliation and deprivation designed to get political prisoners to talk. The appallingly inhumane tactics used by military prison guards in Abu Ghraib, Bagram and Guantanamo Bay flaunted the Geneva Conventions while killing untold numbers of prisoners - including innocents like Dilawar, a young Afghan taxi driver whose only "crime" was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is the story of how America lost its dignity in its zeal to win the War on Terrorism: Taxi to the Dark Side. |
