Evolution of Torture

If you missed last night's Frontline on Public TV, it's not too late. This is something that every American needs to see, whether you agree with the program's presentation or not. Here's the link to the program online:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/torture/
This program traces the evolution of torture in the US military since 9/11, how it became Pentagon policy in Guantanamo Bay and then spread to Iraq. This was by far the most revealing presentation of the evidence that I have seen yet. Frontline interviews key members of the military including the heads of Guantanamo Bay and abu Graib, presents as evidence official Pentagon documents, and presents a convincing case of how the Pentagon itself was responsible for the torture.
Very much worth watching...
