Has anyone seen this? Any comments?

Here is the trailer. http://www.version2.net/PR/Taxi/

Quote:
104 prisoners have died in suspicious circumstances in U.S. custody during the war on terror. "Taxi to the Dark Side" takes an in-depth look at one case: an Afghan taxi driver called Dilawar, who died as a direct result of beatings he sustained from guards and interrogators at Bagram Air Force Base. The documentary, by award-winning producer Alex Gibney ("The Smartest Guys in the Room"), carefully develops the last weeks of Dilawar's life and shows how decisions taken at the pinnacle of power in the Bush Administration led directly to Dilawar's brutal death.

This is the definitive exploration of the introduction of torture as an interrogation technique in U.S. facilities, and the role played by key figures of the Bush Administration in the process.

Hmmmm ... well y'know naturally they must have deserved to die.

It's simply what happens to "suspects" the "good guys" take into custody. This, or they're just quietly locked away & disappear INCOMMUNICADO for the rest of their worthless lives into a "legal" BLACK HOLE Twisted Evil

Wikipedia article is a friggin' joke.
