Today saw the release of the first ever footage from inside Guantanamo bay: a rather innocuous but still haunting interrogation of a 16 year old Canadian boy.
Interrogator: You know I’m not a doctor but I think you’re getting good medical care.
Boy: No I’m not, you’re not here. (Sobbing) I lost my eyes. I lost my feet - everything.
Interrogator: No you still have your eyes and your feet are still at the ends of your legs.
Way to got team ‘Merica, I feel safer already.
Also the first episode of Generation Kill premiered this weekend making its way onto Joox.net which is apparently some sort of pirate analog to Hulu. I would join you in asking “why” if it weren’t for the fact that if you try and access Hulu outside the U.S. (or nearly any other streaming video site besides YouTube) you get the digital middle finger. Generation Kill is based almost directly, with many passages of dialog kept entirely intact, from Evan Wright’s book of the same name. It’s headed by Ed Burns and David Simon, the same television geniuses who created The Wire. The first episode was good. We’ll see how episode 2 goes.
And now, your moment of zen.
