A very interesting article
A very interesting article and is closely linked to one of the ten featured Why Democracy? movies. Alex Gibney's "Taxi to the Dark Side" explores the use of torture by American soldiers.
Themes such as these probe the ugly dynamics of war. Taking into considertion that the "war on terror" is unlike any other war, we have to question at what point do human rights get disregarded in order to achieve a distant objective.
