Taliban Country: The Movie

On the UW campus tonight, Madison’s Chapter of Amnesty International is showing a short film by Carmela Baranowska. In his review of Taliban Country Isthmus film critic Kent Williams is shocked by the abuses of the American military. The film maker bravely interviewed Afghan residents and elicits the following testimony:
“Some men claim to have been stripped, photographed, even submitted to having fingers inserted in their anuses.”
The left is now appalled by the abuse equivalent of a physical examination with x-rays. Blood, Bruises, Burns, Broken Bones, Bullet Holes: No, No, No, No, No. Prostate exam by a soldier: Torture Crisis in the American Military.
