Human rights are expensive, precious and expensive

A movie that was completely attracted to the starring cast. Regarding the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo prison, if it is linked to other movies, such as "Torture Report", this should be a project that the government has spent millions of dollars on. All prison guards’ actions are based on the premise of obtaining information. They are all recorded, which is also the basis for the final disclosure of the truth. So if you just indiscriminately scold the Americans and force a confession, it would be very frivolous. I now often think back to why I did not feel uncomfortable with Jack's behavior when I watched "24 Hours" years ago. Is it definitely uncomfortable now? Because people’s moral standards in the form of war are likely to be lowered a lot, when the military regards anti-terrorism as a war confrontation, many actions will have reasonable excuses in its position, which is why Juan Fu will be reprimanded as a traitor. , Certainly not because those soldiers are anti-justices. According to other movies, a large part of the reason for the suspension of this project is that the information obtained by forced confessions is almost of no value. I think the value of these films is not to prove that the United States does not value human rights, but to make people understand that it is a very expensive undertaking to protect human rights and protect a kind of value. There are many costs. For example, the military may need to spend more. Improve investigative capabilities and precision strikes. For example, the government may have to withstand the pressure of being accused of incompetence or even losing votes. For example, ordinary people may need to sacrifice more sense of security and freedom to defend the rights of others, so those who can do this are rare. Is worthy of being made into a movie.

  • Nancy Hollander: You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.

  • Teri Duncan: Fuck... he fucking confessed.

    Nancy Hollander: To what?

    Teri Duncan: To everything. To financing 911, to hijacking the planes, he fucking ordered spreadsheets, inner workings of Al Qu'aida. Why didn't he tell us that he confessed?

    Nancy Hollander: That's not the first time in history that a client's lied to his lawyers.

    Teri Duncan: Look at this, look at his one - he admits to acquiring explosives to blow up LAFs. The millennium plot?

    Nancy Hollander: What's your point?

    Teri Duncan: He's guilty! He's fucking guilty!

    Nancy Hollander: [shrugs] Maybe he is. He still has a right to counsel.

    Teri Duncan: I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm saying that he helped to kill 3000 civilians and we're doing everything we can to get him out.

    Nancy Hollander: We're doing our job.

    Teri Duncan: I did bake sales for his legal fund! That's not a part of my job. My dad told me I'm not welcome home for thanksgiving, that's not a part of my job.

    Nancy Hollander: Get out.

    Teri Duncan: What?

    Nancy Hollander: You want turkey and pumpkin pie with mom and dad and uncle Joe? Go on, get out. Go home. You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.

    Teri Duncan: I'm not trying to...

    Nancy Hollander: [interrups] Stop fucking wasting my time! Get out.
