Errol Morris tackles the same subject as the recent "Taxi to the Dark Side" -- torture, Abu Ghraib, etc. Morris relies heavily on reenactments, though. "Taxi" made the soldiers seem kind of evil. Here, they just seem stupid. The thing in common with all their stories is that they weren't really responsible for what happened and they don't understand why they got in trouble. Well, who was then? Certainly not Lynndie England, at least according to Lynndie England.
Towards the end, one interrogator sums up the current situation in Iraq: If we leave, they're killing each other and they're not killing us; if we stay, they're killing each other and they're killing us. There might be some truth to that.
