I recently came across this remarkable movie. About the Algerian War for Independence against thefrench in the 1960s. It is said that members of the Bush administration made american soldiers or members of the pentagon to watch it. Namely because it proved that Torture actually works as the first part of the movie demonstrates. www.dailymotion.com/video/x1g010_battle-of-algiers-1_news#

The Battle Of Algiers , was a much beloved film by many Black folks of the 60's. It became like a right of passage for many esp. for those of us that were part of the Black Nationalist Movement, it is a powerful film. I had also heard about the Bush & pentagon being made to watch this film. Until that time I had not heard reference of this film for many years !
