Standard Operating Procedure (Documentary)
Posted: 29 Apr 2009, 00:13
I just watched this documentary tonight (streaming over Netflix), and WOW. I thought it was a detailed and moving incite into what happened at Abu Graib prison in Iraq 2003, albiet it was more or less one sided. There were only interviews with the "key" individuals who were involved, but no point of view from anyone else (Top Brass, Iraqi prisoners, etc..), which I found somewhat dissapointing and lacking as far as documentaries go.
After everything was said and done, yes, what they did was wrong and immoral, but I thought brushing the whole thing under the rug and letting the little guys take the fall was complete BS. I was appauled to see that the CIA and MI (Military Interrogators) were not charged with the death of one of the Iraqi prisoners. The Interrogators just made him appear to have a medical problem and whisked him away, never to be seen again.
If anyone here has a Netflix account, and enjoys documentaries, check out Standard Operating Procedure on Netflix. Be warned, it is quite graphic.

Next on my list to watch are:
"No End in Sight"
"The Fog of War"
