Errol Morris, Standard Operating Procedure

The Oscar-winning documentarian who has developed a style entirely his own now examines the mystery behind the notorious photos taken by American soldiers at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Standard Operating Procedure explores the inequities of the criminal charges - no one above the level of sergeant has been tried and jailed; their "crimes" were taking pictures, not prisoner abuse or murder. Morris, who saved a man from Texas' Death Row with The Thin Blue Line and reinvestigated Robert McNamara's reputation with his more recent The Fog of War, explains his method, his approach and what surprised him.
