That documentary provides us with chilling evidence of the use of torture on detainees at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and Bagram, while placing that evidence in a powerful narrative that should force audiences into a more open conversation about the use of these techniques in fighting for American freedoms.

When you put it in those terms, I feel like I should have been much harsher on Fujishima, and I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't more critical.

In fact, as I had an hour's drive from the screening, it gave me plenty of time to think about how troubling it is that we're even in a position where we are forced into debating both the ethics and effectiveness of torture.

Seriously, what is wrong with people? "You weren't fair enough to the torturers!" Who is he, Leni Riefenstahl?
