Taxi to the Dark Side director working on Abramoff film

Taxi to the Dark Side director working on Abramoff film.

On Sunday, Alex Gibney won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for his work directing “Taxi to the Dark Side,” which investigated the Bush administration’s interrogation practices. Gibney’s next project — due out later this year — is a documentary on the Abramoff scandal, including Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) role. “Interestingly enough, not many politicians went on the record,” Gibney sarcastically added.

3. Major kick
This film, if seen by Americans, would blow the whole lid off what this White House did with this whole War.

Personally, I think GWB actively participates in the tortures as they're being conducted, because HE GETS OFF ON IT!

7. the best acceptance speech that night
Gibney said he made the movie for two people, the taxi driver who died while being interrogated by US military and his father, a US Navy interrogator who laments the death of the Rule of Law.
