In reference to our last post about intelligence gathering and "enhanced interrogation." This is a short and shocking piece by Amnesty International made in 2008 for their Unsubscribe campaign to combat human rights abuses in the "War on Terror."
The campaign had been endorsed by Moazzam Begg, the British man formerly held without charge for two years at Guantánamo Bay. Mr Begg said: "Removing freedoms gives rise to hostility and leads to terrorism; terrorism allows governments to justify the restriction of liberty. We must Unsubscribe to both." http://www.amnesty.org.uk/

This documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged form the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters.
Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today.
