Alex Gibney's "Taxi to the Dark Side" Really a Critique of Bush's "War on Democracy"

By Steve Clemons | bio
In my hats both at The Washington Note and TPM Cafe, I am sponsoring a Washington, DC preview screening of Alex Gibney's powerful new film, Taxi to the Dark Side.

The film already has a Gotham Award Nomination as best documentary and won the Best Documentary Prize at the Chicago Film Festival, the Newport International Film Festival, and the Tribeca Film Festival.

I've seen it -- and it's a devastating chronicle of the Bush administration's Darkness at Noon-style kidnapping, detainment, and torture practices that have been less part of a so-called 'war on terror' than a 'war on America's own democratic principles.'

Film critic Roger Ebert agrees and said, "Highly recommended. A devastating documentary laying out in precise detail the Bush administration's use of illegal detainment, torture and death in prison camps that exist outside the U.S. Constitution."
