Taxi to the Dark Side

This link discusses "Taxi to the Dark Side," about the corruption of the rule of law that occurred in the US military once it began to torture. I found the link on a website for the Association of Christian Veterans of New Jersey. The director decided to do the film after reading the last paragraph of a NY Times story, where an interrogator says that even after they had decided the man they were beating was innocent, they kept beating him. And he died. It was murder . . . which started out as torture. . .which started out as fear. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
