Law & Order repeat of last nights "John Yoo" episode-

[Bluerthanblue]

It just ended (in the N. East). It was pretty interesting. If you get a chance to see it- I highly recommend it.


Here's a link to some good comments- and a trailer:

...snip<<<<<......The episode was a TV show. But (as someone who wrote a 400-page dissertation on some "fictional narratives" that used factual details to intervene in current events), I particularly liked the way they used actual details from our history of torture--integrated within a narrative structure--to appeal to the emotions of viewers.

The Law & Order folks originally get the torture issue because the John Yoo figure (named Franklin in the show--he differs from Yoo in that he's white and he's still trying to get tenure) kills a former Abu Ghraib guard suffering from PTSD, Greg Tanner, who tried to get Franklin to help him get money and/or VA treatment for his PTSD. The implication, ultimately, is that the Franklin killed Tanner to try to prevent Tanner from revealing his role in torture. After Franklin escapes manslaughter charges through some cynical lawyering, the Law & Order team indict him for conspiracy to torture, based on his role in writing the torture memos.
......SNIP>>>>>>>

4. Oops. It wants me to fill out a survey to watch.

IS that an invite to malware?

Try it and see.

5. Don't go there

Not a reliable source of video.

6. I hope it works ok for you guys- I opened it to the point where the

show started, and it didn't ask me to do anything. :shrug:

I wouldn't have posted it if I hadn't tried it out- please let me know if it's not a good one. I'm not too savvy about different ways sites can harm, but my anti-spy/virus software said everything was fine.

If it's not good- I'd like to delete it rather than cause anyone problems.

thanks-

7. I DO NOT recommend that link

Not only does it require the user to complete surveys in order to watch the show, it also upsells horrid products, asks for SS#, home address and the script doesn't work.

[Nikki Stone1]

8. Thank you. I didn't answer any questions and I clicked off it as soon as I saw the survey

Do you think I am safe?

[blogslut]

9. I don't know

Run your malware/spyware scanners just to be safe.

[Nikki Stone1]

15. I'm running it now.

So far so good.

[Bluerthanblue]

10. Thank you for letting me know, and I apologize for

directing anyone there.

I'm going to delete the link right now.

I wonder why it didn't trigger a survey for me?- at any rate, I don't want to send anyone to a bad place.

hope all is ok.

[Bluerthanblue]

11. Edit time has expired- I've alerted and asked mods to delete-

Again, my apologies.

:(

18. No big thing

The site/player does a sneaky trick. It plays a good few minutes of the video before it pops the warning/survey ad thingy. You didn't know.

[Bluerthanblue]

12. DO NOT USE LINKS IN POST # 2- !!!!

They are not safe.

Thanks

17. Awesome!

Adding that site to my list of online teevee episode players. I got rid of the tv machine almost two years ago.

19. What TV sites do you use?

Once the ancient TV/VCR player in my bedroom dies I will be TV free. Although I will miss going to sleep to the sound of Morgan Freeman's voice and the Shawshank Redemption every other night.

21. Mostly

HULU and TVPC.com. I also hit LIKETELEVISION.com when I want to see kitsch and when I want to be bad, I go watch bootleg new releases @ JUSTIN.tv. :hi:

[LittleOne]

24. Awesome thanks I will add to the list!!!

14. Saw it on the original night.

Loved it. Can watch Law & Order in peace now that Jack McCoy is the DA and that awful conservative Arthur Branch is gone. (I know their real names, it is just more fun to pretend they are who they pretend to be.);)

20. It was very good but we were pissed

with the end.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. I was pissed because this will be as close as we get to a trial and it was on a fictional tv show...

[peekaloo]

23. I was hoping for a verdict before the Feds crashed the court.

would have made the ep even more daring.

25. K & R !!!
