Sometimes I wish that all of these letter writers could just get together and start their own newspaper. Would be nice..

The debate over the release of the torture memos sent by various Bush aides has brought back images stuck in my mind ever since viewing the documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side" by Oscar nominee and director Alex Gibney.
His award-winning film investigates the last torturous days of a young Afghan man in Bagram prison. The 22-year-old taxi driver had been caught up in the dragnet of the post 9/11 frenzy to "get the bad guys" and had died after five days in detention.
It turned out that American military guards had kept him shackled to a grid in the ceiling of his cell for five days straight with a daily mega-dose of torturous beatings, especially kicking him in the shackled legs. The guards had been told by those in charge to "rough him up good" because, "Afghans were just like dogs."
Those among your readers who are still skeptical of what was done need to watch the documentary. Check out the trailer on U-tube.
These horrendous things were done in our name. Those who put the policy in place to allow torture must all be held accountable.
