Mind Of Cheney - Reject Dick Cheney and Torture

The message is simple. Reject the politics of fear that has dominated us during the Bush/Cheney administration. Dont believe the lies that we are less safe now because we stopped the torture.

Many would argue that we were less safe during the Bush years since the enhanced interrogation techniques - better known as TORTURE were one of the reasons why many young muslim men decided to fight against the west. All you had do to was show them a video of one of their brothers being waterboarded or those Abu Ghraib pictures and they would be ready to do anything - including blow themselves up and take a lot of innocent people with them. It was a major recruitment tool for Al Qaeda.

While searching YouTube for video to put this project together, I came across many videos from the Arab world the can confirm this. They are all over YouTube. Just do a search for stuff like Guantanamo Bay or Waterboarding and you will find them. The Guantanamo Bay shots in the video came from one of these sites. The waterboarding shots are actors and were taken from Amnesty International. Everything else is very real and were taken from news clips.

Warning: Some of the images in the video may be disturbing. Especially if you lost a loved one on 911. I did not mean to offend anyone. I want people to remember 911, honor those who died on that day, but also honor our values which have made us a great nation. What happened over the last eight years to our US Constitution should never happen again. This is what I was trying to say with these controversial images.
