The Third UN-


I have now seen the trilogy of "UN" movies -- you know them, or perhaps should know them, huh


Uncovered, Unprecedented, Unconstitutional


Uncovered was the documentary about insiders who did not believe there was enough evidence about WMDs to go to war with Iraq and pursue the policy of regime change


Unprecedented was the documentary about how election irregularities in Florida raised a great deal of issues about minority access to the vote, the use of voting machines, etc.


Although it had been sitting on my shelf for maybe 3 months, I finally saw Unconstitutional -- I guess I was thinking that it would be kind of stale-ish and outdated stuff about Ashcroft and the Patriot Act


I was surprised that it covered the torture memos and Guantanamo in a great deal of detail -- this is way ahead of the media coverage of Bush appointing his WH Counsel Gonzalez to Atty General


I found it to be kind of sad as well as they covered some of the discrimination that Arab Americans and immigrants who have fled their country have experienced just because they may look similar physically to terror suspects


I guess the most eye opening thing was the lengths that our government will go to pursue our security or hegemony or any other agendas -- I mean, removing the citizens of other countries from international locations and then holing them up somewhere outside of US territory -- well, it's a bit far reaching, isn't it?


And then the war against our own citizens, seemingly to suppress them and our civil liberties -- well, it's really disheartening
