This contains scenes of torture that some may find offensive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this shocking film, Oscar nominated director Alex Gibney tells the story of Dilawar, a young Afghan taxi driver arrested and questioned by the US forces at Bagram airbase. Just days after his arrest he was dead. Gibney exposes the extraordinary methods employed by Dilawar's interrogators - described by many contributors as torture. He then traces the chain of command which authorised the techniques, ending up at the White House itself. He sees how the methods migrated from Bagram to Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. With unprecedented access to senior White House figures, as well as Dilawars interrogators, this is a chilling journey into the darker reaches of the war on terror. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated with Cool NFO Creator - http://fly.to/coolbeans ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 OSCAR WINNER IN CATEGORY Best Documentary, Features Alex Gibney, Eva Orner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > UPLOADER COMMENTS < < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beware that in about the last third of this doc the sound is out of sync. Most of the doc shows 'talking heads' and still images, decide for yourself wether you would mind or not.

sorry, but who the fuck is alex jones?

(to stelfy: sorry, but who the fuck doesn't know how to do a google search?) This is a soft, sanitized Hollywood-style documentary complete with sombre narration and music, leaving the viewer feeling sadder but wiser. Except for the same horrific photos repeated over and over it ignores the atrocities which are still business as usual for American foreign policy planners. Instead of the story of one man, why not show 90 minutes of torture with a sidebar running the names of the millions of people killed by the American military - maybe then people will wake up.
