>> 
>> Tuesday, May 21, we are having a showing of the excellent biographical 
>> documentary by film producer, Sebastian Doggart: "American Faust: From Condi 
>> to Neo-Condi."  The film takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the life 
>> of Condoleezza Rice from her childhood in Birmingham , AL to her job as 
>> National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and Secretary of State under George W. 
>> Bush (2005-2009). 
>> 
>> We see via Counter Terrorism Chief Richard Clarke how she conspired in the 
>> fabrication of a link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein, churning up the case 
>> for the war on Iraq .  Interviewing White House personnel, historians, 
>> biographers, and life long friends, Doggart comes to to realize that Rice's 
>> story was a Faustian tragedy of the corrupting impact of power.
>> 
>> The film overturns the misconception of Rice as a simple yes-woman and 
>> reveals her to be not only President Bush's most enduring confidante, but, 
>> also, his own personal Torquemada.  It also shows the connection between her 
>> mindset and participation as one of the White House Principals who decided 
>> to mete out specific abuse and torture to prisoners and the agony of the men 
>> who had to endure that torture.    
>> 
>> Doggart digs deep for his documentary, a straight investigative film that 
>> would come to be called “American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi.”
>> 
>> The film can also be seen on Youtube if you would want to see it at home.

>    The reason we are showing this now (again), is because Ms. Rice will be 
> the "honored" guest at the Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid fundraiser on 
>    Thursday, May 23, and we hope that some of the Legal Aid people will come 
> and see the film.  
>     There is also a protest of her at the Minneapolis Hilton, 11th and 
> Marquette,  Thursday from 4 to 6 PM.   Come and be a reminder to people of 
>     the role she played in the very expensive in money and lives in Iraq.
