[Sosfbay-discuss] "Torturing Democracy" Film at Stanford Tues. 7 pm

[Fred Duperrault]

It was a gripping documentary. The Bush Administration's support of the 
grossly illegal torturing was disgusting. There seems to be ample 
evidence to indict Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Yo, Hughes and others in that 
gang. Will there be the ethical will to do so?

"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.
