Linkage

Don't have much time...but thought I'd post some links.

There are a few movies coming out that are quite interesting:

Aaron Russo poses some very thought provoking questions in 'America: From Freedom to Fascism'. Its a bit too soon to tell, but it looks pretty intense.

The War Tapes is a first hand account of the war in Iraq as taped by soldiers on the front line. The movie is very over due. There seems to be a major disconnect between the Governments rehtoric and the opinions/thoughts of many soldiers on the field (I'll post some milblogs of friends later on).

Road to Guantanamo is a first hand docu-drama of three British Muslims ('The Tipton Three') who were held at Guantanamo for something like 2 years before being released without restriction or charges.

Longer post soon as I'm done studying.

I saw Road to Guantanamo again the other day, for the second time, and it was just as intense and hard-hitting as it was upon my first viewing. I've been telling everyone I know to see this.

I met Deborah Scranton, director of The War Tapes, a few months ago here in the SF Bay Area, where she held a private viewing of clips from the film. Still need to see it in full. You're right, it's definitely way overdue. Looking forward to checking out your milblog links. (First time I've heard the term "milblog"! Rocking.)
