And posted a link in the video & multi forum.

Those idiots condemned themselves with their own words. The BBC used a technique used by Errol Morris, for his film about Fred Leuchter. Morris declined to criticise Leuchter, he just let it all play out in Leuchter's own words. Just Fred's words.

That's the technique the filmakers have adopted here. Completely neutral observers. Normal looking people, just so happens that *most of them are white men. As the narrative progresses and the insurgents rationalize their actions we can begin to see just how fanatical, abnormal and unreasonable these people are.

You bought it.
