What is so shocking about this documentary was how the media allowed people to believe that it's okay to commit war crimes as long as you're an American.
Isis has committed terrible crimes against humanity. If we acknowledge this then why do we think it's okay to do the same to them? How does that make us better than them. It doesn't & that's why there is a Geneva convention & that's why we have war crimes, & thats why when someone is convicted of war crimes the American media should not be allowed to try & prejudice the jury and influence the outcome.
There was never going to be a fair trial, regardless of culpability. And when you have a president who himself has committed multiple offences, now interfering in the process, then it's never going to end well for a country already heavily morally compromised.
Whilst compelling in a sort of, I can't believe this is how they do things over there, sort of way this documentary was also an example of everything that's wrong with America & I'm so glad I don't live there.
