Documentary maker Morris looks into Abu Ghraib photos in new film


<snip>Their job, they were told, was to "Gitmo-ize" Abu Ghraib, to procure information from the terrorist suspects in custody by any means necessary. By the time they arrived at the prison, they say, the tone - and the precedent - already had been set.

As we know all too well by now, that entailed stripping prisoners down and placing their underwear on their heads, handcuffing their arms behind their backs in painful positions for unthinkable amounts of time and sometimes forcing them to degrade themselves sexually. (As Sgt. Javal Davis says afterward, he wondered at the time, "Why is everybody naked?")

Spc. Sabrina Harman wondered what exactly was going on around her, too. That's why, she says, she started taking pictures - "To prove that this is not what they think." And in letters she sends to her partner back home, which she narrates throughout the film, she questions her own involvement in the abuse. And yet there she is in several pictures, front and centre, smiling and giving the thumbs-up sign. In one of them, she's making these perky gestures while standing next to a corpse in a body bag - a suspect who had been killed during a CIA interrogation.

The reason? When you're posing for a picture, she explains, you don't really know what else to do.

The reason you jump off the bridge....is you really don't know what to do.

2. Any idea when this will be in theaters? On the IMDB board some claim

to have seen it already. I think we all know it won't be at a cineplex...
