"He'll spend the rest of his life in therapy, and he'll have nightmares every night for the rest of his life."

At least he will if his lawyer is worth his salt.

Reuters just keeps churning out real quality news items.

Hollywood is so brave that they smear the men who keep them safe, would never hurt them, and would not want to hurt them?

They really fear the headchoppers, and rightly so.

"Not one single person has been ordered free by the court of law. The court of public opinion, on the other hand, has been quite successful," said the British lawyer, whose charity Reprieve represents more than 40 Guantanamo inmates.

How wonderful, representing murderous religious psychotics who will slit your throat to celebrate Friday prayer...... More proof that liberalism is a mental disease....

will we persuade the world in a moment?

Persuade the world that we are torturers?

Its a done deal. It was never in question.

The standard for treason has obviously changed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_Sally

...Gillars usually introduced herself as "Midge at the mike," but American troops nicknamed her "Axis Sally."

Gillars made her most infamous broadcast on May 11, 1944, prior to the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France. It was a play called "Vision of Invasion," in which Gillars played an American mother who dreamed that her son had died a horrific death in the English Channel. An announcer intoned, "The D of D-Day stands for doom...disaster...death...defeat...Dunkerque or Dieppe." It was intended as a highly exaggerated warning to any soliders who dared come ashore that day.

[snip]

Gillars' last broadcast was on May 6, 1945, just two days before the German surrender. After the war, Gillars blended into the large number of displaced persons in Allied-occupied Germany. She was captured and eventually flown back to the United States in 1948. She was charged with 10 counts of treason, although she was actually only tried for eight.

Prosecutors called Gillars' broadcasts subtle attempts to break down the morale of American soldiers. They introduced evidence that Gillars had signed an oath of allegiance to Hitler. They also claimed that she posed as a worker for the International Red Cross in order to record messages from American soldiers that could be converted into propaganda.

Gillars' defense attorneys argued that her broadcasts stated an unpopular opinion but did not rise to the level of treason. They also said that she was under the sway of her former romantic interest, Max Otto Koischwitz, a German national whom she had met at Hunter College in New York City.

The sensational, six-week trial ended on March 8, 1949. After long deliberations, the jury convicted Gillars on only one count of treason--for making the "Vision of Invasion" broadcast.

Another fake, but true, approach to news.

He is . . . systematically tortured under the eyes of a CIA agent, played by Gyllenhaal.
“I thought it was surprisingly courageous for Hollywood . . . “

That’s the best laugh I’ve had since seeing Beelzebubba in an SEC `public service blurb’ during half-time of the Auburn-K-state game, lecturing on “Character”!

However, he said the media had a vital part to play in shaping public opinion on the issue, and obtaining justice for more than 300 prisoners still held as terrorist suspects at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Bzzzz! Wrong answer. The media's job is not to shape public opinion, it is to report the news - period. Shaping opinion = propaganda.

Members of Hollywood's film and television writers union have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike anytime after their contract expires at the end of the month.
Leave the lights turned off...they produce way too much crap.
