 terrorismQuestion of the Day: Can Terrorism Destroy Democracy?posted by Yudhvir Ranchod at 8h23 GMT on Oct 17
It's hard to imagine that a country that promotes democracy and freedom at every opportunity has become the center of the debacle on human rights abuses. But such is the paradox of democracy, that those who strive to make the world a democratic union, often cause more damage than good. The subject of terrorism has captivated much of the global political discourse since September 11, 2001.

Today's feature film, Taxi To The Dark Side, investigates how the United States has blurred the line between interrogation and torture.
