    Errol Morris offers an unflinching, detailed insight into the 'Abu Ghraib' torture scandal: such is the extent of the blood boiling banality on display, that even the most mild mannered of viewers may want to collar some of those evil U.S. wardens and Zionist torturers right out of the screen, and do unto them what they did to others. But the crux of the picture reiterates that the paradigm of injustice executes (or lightly slaps) underling scum (e.g. Lyndie England, Charles Graner et all) and allows the powers that be to slither away and start again. Not the full story about what went on, and is still occurring, in U.S. occupied Iraq but a brief glimpse at how an entire nation can be vilified through the inaction of her people & military, many of whom are anti-imperialists and as sickened by this kind of behaviour as the rest of us. Morris also contemplates the long-term ramifications of the American public's inability to stand up to an amoral, unquestionably depraved and homicidal U.S. regime; and how our actions, in spite of our best intentions or wishes, will be measured only in terms of how quickly we bring Rumsfeld, Cheney and all those who sanctioned torture to the point where it became 'Standard Operating Procedure', to justice. A worthy companion piece to films like 'Taxi To The Dark Side', 'The Ghosts Of Abu Ghraib', 'My Country My Country' and 'Iraq In Fragments'. A shameful chapter in the annuals of human history, a must see documentary.
