I've never really kept up with the
wars going on because when 9/11 happened and America invaded Iraq I was too
young to really understand. So much misconstrued information has been put out
there that there is no clear story as to what happened. I do believe the US had
a right to fight back because of the terrorist attack. Terrorism is a horrible
thing and is usually done by a group associated with a certain country or
religion. But the thing a lot of people don’t realize is that it is not the
whole country or religion that is to blame. It’s extremist. And just as Zero Dark Thirty showed, many just
associate color or religion to a terrorist act. For example when Maya was
leaving her house and she was shot at just because she was white, not because
they had knowledge of her being in the CIA.
Torture seems like a very common
thing during war and trying to find out information. They tear someone down
physically hoping to break them into caring about only their own well-being,
changing their loyalty in hopes of saving their own life. Terrorism does not
seem to care who is harmed, as long as a message is received. With this war,
crucial people would give up their lives just to kill Americans, whether they
were civilians or the leaders of America.
Yeah I agree with you on that there was so much information thrown out that was inaccurate that it's impossible for us to understand what happened. I mean i've heard about torture during war but honestly I have to admit that I didnt think it was equivalent to what was displayed in this movie, for example in the beginning of the movie when water is being poured into the guys mouth, it kind of made me sick. But I think this movie just put a lot into perspective
