We know how he feels. Since September 11 we've all had our faces rubbed in rationales for interrogation practices that were long deemed unthinkable for a civilized country… Officially, they still are. Hence the need for "extraordinary rendition", the US policy (instigated by the Clinton administration)... Read more
Near-Lee at the Oscars, but not quite
- 19 Oct 2007
Ang Lee, the director who won an Oscar for his work on the 2005 picture Brokeback Mountain, will not be picking up a Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award for his latest film Lust, Caution.
