"Torturing
Democracy" tells about the policies that led the US to
become (with no small 
help from Stanford's own Condi Rice) a
practitioner of torture. It was supposed to be 
shown on PBS last year,
but then some mysterious "scheduling conflicts" came up 
and they
canceled it. But we've got it now, so come check it out!


When: Tuesday, August 25th, 7:00 pm

Where: Havana Room, Graduate Community Center, 750 Escondido Rd.
   "Torturing Democracy" tells the inside story of how the US government adopted 
torture as official policy in the aftermath of 9/11.  With exclusive interviews, explosive
documents and rare archival footage, award winning filmmaker Sherry Jones has 
crafted the definitive account of a deeply troubling chapter in recent American history. 
 "Torturing Democracy" carefully presents the evidence that leads straight to the top 
of the chain of command -- and so lays to rest the "rotten apple" defense for abusive



interrogations at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and elsewhere.
