DESCRIPTION:Powerful PBS Documentary by Sherry Jones about the chilling, illegal 
 actions of the U.S. government…..some media reactions 
 below…...\n\n“Americans who've been waiting for someone to graphically 
 connect the dots between the legal memos justifying torture, abuse of 
 prisoners at Guantanamo and beyond, and the consequences for the moral 
 standing of this nation, need look no further.  It's all here. ‘Torturing 
 Democracy’ should engender the same mass outrage as the 2004 photos from 
 Abu Ghraib.”  - Dahlia Lithwick, Slate\n\n“In one dramatic scene, 
 former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage describes being 
 waterboarded as part of a training program he went through before being 
 sent to Vietnam.  Did he consider waterboarding to be torture, Armitage was 
 asked.  “Absolutely.  No question.”  He continued, “There is no 
 question in my mind – there’s no question in any reasonable human being 
 that this is torture.  I’m ashamed we’re even having this 
 discussion.”  No one who has seen this dramatic documentary is likely to 
 buy into the “rotten apples” narrative any longer.”  –Scott Horton, 
 The Daily Beast\n\nDiscussion follows. \n\nPresented by BFUU Social Justice
