>> >> 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.
