It's hard to REALLY feel the pain and sufferring that innocent people have endured in torture camps, wether it be Auschwitz, Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay. Opression is opression, and no person deserves to be brutalized mentally or physically... especially when they havent been given any due process. When you watch the film "The Road to Guantanamo" you can't help but wonder how these kids had so many close calls where they could have been killed before they even made it to Camp X-ray.  My sister did her thesis on the legitimacy of the captured individuals being given the status of "enemy combatants" and if that really is enough to evade international standards of the treatment which is to be given to prisoners. After re-reading her paper for her a few times I got to thinking how in the world can we just sit here and discuss these riddiculous claims which implies that we are above all laws, because we are strong enough to break all of them and no one can take us into account. Our rationale as a country is based on arrogance, stubborness, and a dash of racism and religious intolerance.

What happens when a bunch of lefties wih access put together a 3 hour documentary analyzing and then psycoanalyzing the history, purpose, and malfunctions of the modern  day corporation?

Here is the synopsis from the official website :

THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.

Before I get to the actual review I want everyone to get a very vivid sneak peak. First check out the opening scene for the cartoon: HERE-- tell me this is not cool.

Now for the Review:

First some background info. This new animated series was released in 2003 on MTV. For some odd reason MTV decided to drop it. Season One has 13 episodes.
