Why not a Hogan's Heroes type series set in Guantonimo Bay Prison?The way I envision it,there would be a very humourous type of torture portrayed each week, Ratings would go through the roof!

the only question is : Why make it "fictional" when the reality is offers so much "movie material." The ingredients are there. Intrigue, slaughter, espionage, lots of action . Motion picture industry strikes again and the rich get richer.
(what is interesting is that to many, a situation is not real until it makes it into a "movie".

Ms. Lynch is a decent enough human being to be ashamed of that film. She came out right after the showing and basically said it was a pack of lies

yes, remember that now. Didn't deter the making of the film though and probably didn't deter her taking her "cut" from it. But heck........that is the "American way"...... What can one say??
the bottom line :$$$$$.........as usual. Over comes ethics and scruples everytime.
