In reply to the discussion: My take on the torture in the movie, Zero Dark Thirty. [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)IMHO it was the focus of a few people with the eye on the prize, not just looking to
pass it bureaucratically
good solid detective work
which is how President Obama wants to deal with this- court of law like, though he is constantantly unable due to the Peter Kings out there.
They could have dropped a bunker busting bomb, but then, who would have been sure if they got the prize or didn't.
This was was solid 100% proof.
and i wasn't a fan of Hurt Locker, found that boring
but this was edge of the seat suspense, even knowing the ending
Very quick 2hours 45 minutes.
BTW, they show more torture in one episode of Homeland or 24.
And wonder, who came first, Mya or Carrie of Homeland?
couldn't be coincidental that both were so similiar, especially as they say the real person in ZDT does not look like Chastain looks like.
and 24 week in week out was worse torture wise, and far more rightwing.
but
who in the world wouldn't have wanted a drone droped on OBL the day before he gave the orders for 9-11 and saved all those people's lives?
