"Taxi to the Dark Side" by Alex Gibney

Post by jnash2001 » Sat Mar 01, 2008 7:30 pm

I just have finished seeing this documentary, which for those you don't know is "An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002."
It goes beyond just this taxi driver, by showing the general panorama of the war.

It's just astonishing some of the quotes by Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.
After seeing it, I don't think anyone can agree with them.

If you ask me, this so called Bush administration (I think Richard Stallman makes a good point when he says "Bush regime") ought to be tried for war crimes. It's simply astonishing to me, how they constantly try to make the soil that Guantanomo is located on, into a place where the Geneva conventions never existed.

What is the world coming to, they can impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a blowjob so his wife would not find out, yet Bush gets away with being a warmongering lunatic that tortures people!!
