Watching "Torture Democracy" on Bill Moyers, PBS.

[rgbecker]

Has George Bush seen this Movie?

Have you?

1. I watched part of it.

If only half of it is true, Bush should be in prison. Unfortunately it will never happen.

[5X]

3. Not only bush but his entire administration and any one who enables

them to get away with it. "Moving on" should not be an option.

5. It is an outrage that I had almost forgotten

...the outrages.

:blush:

4. Watching .

Rumsfeld needs to be "extremely renditioned" right fucking NOW!

6. Why am I the only person to rec this? Bill Moyers Journal just ended here.

Words cannot express how appalled I am that bushco isn't being prosecuted for these horrible crimes against humanity!

[malaise]

7. There are two other thread

and they also sank.
I get the feeling many DUers are battle weary.

8. maybe we need to send Obama the link to the film.

9. Has Obama seen it? Holder?

[Goldfish]

10. I just saw it too!

Infuriating and shocking! Where did they get the video footage? Every American should see this, along with the pictures that are being hidden from us. Only then will the country realize what a bunch of monsters we had in the White House! The techniques they used were similar to those used by the Spanish Inquisition, so they must have researched this first. If this documentary and the
photos were more readily available, Cheney would shut up and go back to his cave, and this would hasten our exit out of the Middle East. Of course, if the intent is to keep us there indefinitely,
then they are deliberately trying to keep the people ignorant.

11. Recommended

This is a very well made and informative documentary.

I was already astonished that prosecutions aren't already underway but the case for indictment is so clearly laid it in this film that astonishment has turned to confusion.

17. I'm starting to think

there's a quid pro quo here. Bushco goes free and Obama got elected. Too TFHie?

13. Torturing Democracy - YES. It is a MUST - SEE

Watch it here:

There are three parts - it's about 90 minutes or so long. You HAVE to see it.

14. Sent link to whitehouse.gov with the following note:

The link below is to a film that President Obama and others at the White House should see. It's called Torturing Democracy and was just featured on Bill Moyers' Journal on PBS. The link directly to the film online is:

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/torturingdemocracy/index.html

I have talked to NO ONE who believes this should go uninvestigated and unpunished. This is not some dirt we can sweep under the rug and move on. It's too big, ugly , damaging to the United States, and too illegal for that.

What was done in the name of our country will affect our national security (providing an excellent recruiting tool and excellent reasons for retaliation by extremeist groups) and endanger our troops for DECADES. They are doomed to suffer the same treatment themselves that we have inflicted on others at Bagram, Gitmo, and Abu Ghraib.

UNLESS the crimes of devising and carrying out torture during the Bush Administration in the name of the "War on Terror" is investigated and dealt with in the light of day we - and our soldiers - WILL PAY for these crimes. We do not win a "War on Terror" by being terrorists or by acting in the same ways that those whom we oppose, or are protecting ourselves from act.

This is NOT about politics. It is about the integrity of the United States of America, about our national security and about protecting our country and our troops - something the President is SWORN to do.

Ignore those crimes depicted in this film - at all of our peril.
