How could the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side Been more confrontational than it is? From start to finish, "Taxi" brings the viewer closer and closer to the people behind the horrendous treatment of Iraqi prisonners, not just the powerful in the military and in government, but to the people of the country as a whole who are not sufficiently horrified to have as yet to voice our collective outrage. Letters to government officials and to local newspapers and journalists, public rallies, and contributions to organizations such as Amnesty International are ways in which a private citizen can take a step toward abolishing the shameful use of torture. The closing interview with Alex Gibney's father Frank Gibney brought tears to my eyes. The world's opinion of American justice has a long road out of the deep mud in which it is currently mired.
