Standard Operating Procedure

Its about context. Understanding - or the attempt to comprehend the context. Or to possibly put yourself in someone elses shoes. There are few times when I get to my destination, turn off the car, sit, and listen to the radio. I heard part the interview on WABE/NPR 90.1. I didnt get the name of the show, but once I started listening, I didnt stop until it was over... Errol Morris directs 'Standard Operating Procedure' - a movie about the Abu Ghraib photos.
