Torture: Where’s the Outrage?

A few years ago I picked up an ACLU bumper sticker printed with this question. After years of reading about renditions, Guantanamo, “stress positions,” waterboarding, etc., I feel more ashamed than outraged. Taxi to the Dark Side is a new film that chronicles our government’s role as torturer and could help to spark some much-needed outrage. The Boston Globe’s film critic characterized it as a “military-torture documentary.” (One line of the review certainly resonated: “Cabalistic government doings always freak me out....”) I don’t think I can handle watching more than the trailer, so if you see the film, please leave a comment.
