(if you view it, hit play, and then hit pause. Go away for a while and then watch it -- that tends to work better -- it is 47 minutes long)

Zeyad says it is accurate, so that's all the stamp of approval I need.

Very graphic pictures of torture and murder.


It ends talking about how if American troops withdraw the Death Squads will run all of Iraq -- once again, how will our staying not stop that? Maliki will not put a lid on the militias. The Americans cannot stop the killings. There's a conventional wisdom going on that keeps us stuck. There seems to be almost a presumption that American forces are "peacekeepers", which is simply not the case.

Also interesting about the film is Americans who come forward with info about the Interior Ministry -- why haven't we learned this on American TV?

Zeyad concludes:

Be sure that you'll never get this on American TV.
