JUMP CUT
A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA

 

Presidential photo-op. Vice-Presidential photo-op. Standing ovation for War Powers Act.
Authors of torture policy. General Miller's tough-guy face. Government images of arms.
But he did not "see" the abuse there. Eyes look back at us: the punctum. Two subjectivities divide image in half.
Another tough guy. He and Gen. Miller... ...visit Abu Ghraib prison to "gitmoize" it. Weapons of mass destruction.
Idealized aerial shot of UN, fisheye lens. "Most embarrassing moment of my life." Low angle-up to power.
