Reply #4: That's exactly what I said to my husband...

...after the movie was finished.

I wanted to see all of those torture participants--including those in the US government--sent away to prison.
I also wanted to see the Senator realize that he put politics before an innocent American's life. It would
have been nice to see the Senator suffer emotionally as a result of his cowardice.

Maybe that is what the makers of the film intended. We don't see the torturers and the sociopaths
punished. That leaves us with an incomplete feeling. Maybe they wanted us to leave feeling
uncomfortable---because that is the current state of this issue in our country.

People are being shuffled to prisons in other countries and tortured--and it can happen to anyone--even
an American. This is our policy.

Americans should be unsettled and outraged--and wanting justice. So maybe that is why we were left with
the baggage at the end.

I got the feeling that the people who made this movie weren't being salacious. They were screaming
for us to do something.
