So get this. Tonight's "Lost" revolves around Sayid, the character who was a member of the Iraqi Republican Guard and someone guilt-riddled over his past as a torturer. Tonight we learn, preposterously and offensively, that he became a torturer because he was seduced into it by the U.S. army, which wanted information in 1991 about a downed pilot. "Before the Americans came, I was a soldier," he said. "When they left, I became something else. My name is Sayid, and I am a torturer."
Good God. It takes an American to teach a Saddam-ite Iraqi to torture people. This is Hollywood at its most disgusting.
I haven't watched tongith's episode yet (I watch by downloading the shows from iTunes and tonight's episode won't be available until tomorrow), but this is disappointing. It is such a great show, why distract the audience with pointless partisan point-scoring?
