I just saw one of the men involved with making the Frontline on O'Reilly...

He said that if he had had access to the Abu Ghraib videos, he would have shown some of them in this film....

He said one of their "contributors" said that he would be able to identify the torturers on the video if he could have seen it.

blech

Another leftist hit piece against US forces, all on the taxpayer's dime through PBS.

I don't give a crap that terrorists were tortured to save American lives! These aren't simple conscripts fighting for a government they barely feel in touch with or a concept like communism they barely understand who will be easily broken with a little good cop, bad cop. These are hardened fanatics who think they are Allah's foot soldiers and who feel if they gave anything away they'd be betraying God himself. Therefore, these people are NEVER going to talk and tell us what we need to know to save American and innocent Iraqi lives without the screws being put to them. They are never going to respond to simple coercion or just be broken down by the fact they're now "out of the fight." We have to go tough on them and if we don't that will cost American lives. Besides, these animals respect only brute force.

So spare me PBS, I don't give a crap if we torture (not to mention 98% of what the leftist media defines as "torture" in terms of what American soldiers do to get information off these insects really isn't.) Jihadist sub-humans if it saves American lives and takes more sub-humans off the streets of the civilized world. The ivory towerism of these PBS leftists is just nauseating.

The producer was just on O'Reilly and kept referring to our soldiers as "young people" as if some stooge his age is far more wiser to handle what they do in the field.

It was extremely patronizing and pathetic.

That producer would have wet/brown shorts if he spent just 30 seconds in Fallujah with those "young people." He owes his very existence to our "young people" in uniform.

Unless it's some flamebag loudmouth liberal moonbat who's family member has a saber at their throat - then they demand to have the city of the captors nuked, or the skin ripped off their poor old grandmother shred by shred for information to save them....

Behind-the-scenes photos and video of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib;

Extended interviews with White House, Justice and Pentagon officials involved in policy making on detainee treatment, and an exploration of the legal thinking behind their decisions;

FAQs on interrogation policies, who's been held accountable in the abuse scandal, the 12 Defense Dept. investigations, and more;

A chronology of the post-9/11 decisions that laid the groundwork for prison abuse;

Plus, the opportunity to watch the full program again in streaming video, and more.

LOL. That is the truth. Little pampered princeling that he is. He would not last 5 minutes.

Yeah, it's still a "question," you know, years after everyone yapped about it for months.

They should call this program "The Liberal Propaganda Question" instead.

The legal framework developed by administration lawyers like Berenson, Alberto Gonzales and John Yoo provided the impetus for unprecedented rules for interrogating detainees, rules authorized by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld -- rules officials insist never condoned torture.

Well, that's what PBS and the liberals want, isn't it?
