“You don’t like the truth: 4 days inside Guantanamo.”  The most powerful and disturbing documentary I have ever seen over my 50 some odd years of political involvement.

I cannot tell you how painful it was to watch for over an hour as a Canadian CSIS officer systematically applied psychological torture to this 16 year old child.

If you are a Canadian, you will feel a profound shame (the Canadian Supreme Court found that the interrogation was a violation of the child’s rights, but didn’t order the government to do anything about it).  If you are a human being with an ounce of humanity …

The documentary, using the video of the four days of interrogation, shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the child was innocent of the charge against him.  It shows him (who already had been brutally tortured by the Americans) virtually destroyed emotionally over the persistent hectoring of his interrogator and yet, in the end, having more courage and decency than his monster of an adversary (a veritable wolf in sheep’s clothing).

There is much more I could say, and maybe I will add another post once I calm down.  If you want to know the truth about this disgusting travesty of justice, try to find a way to see this documentary, or at least view the trailer whose link is at the top of this post.  The documentary’s home page is http://www.youdontlikethetruth.com/?lang=En&page=Home
