Her critique is presented as voiceover and an assemblage of print media?articles on subjects ranging from human rights to unemployment and global economics. Implicating the U.S. government and American businesses for supporting regimes that systematically use torture, she indicts the American press for its role as an agent of disinformation through selective coverage, its use of language, and for implicitly legitimizing points of view that support torture. ********************************* FREAKYFLICKS ********************************** Freakyflicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.

So many people blame torture in their works and talks, I wonder why it still exists.
Appart from being hypocritical and cherished by an establishment willing to get cleared from this kind of accusation, they also never mention the natture of a society entirely feeding on such practice, and financing them of course.
If I eat, something suffers. I assume it and blame no one about it.
Thank you for the great FF ULs.

Damn, the Jack Bauer 24 pro-torture neocon prick argument in newsweek in 1983. The same script, just 24 years old. Torture still doesnt work and Levin's argument will still lose with intelligent people and still win with feckless chest beating faux strong men.
