Among the extras on Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s DVD release (10.14) of Errol Morris’ Standard Operating Procedure we find a 90-minute panel discussion that took place earlier in the year with five experts from the European community: Dr. Allen Keller, Director of the NYU Survivors of Torture; Lord Peter Goldsmith, former UK Attorney General; Wolfgang Kaleck, General Secretary for the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights; Lionel Barber, Editor of The Financial Times; and Herta Daubler-Gmelin, Chairwoman of the Committee for Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid of the German Parliament.
The exclusive clip we received sees The Financial Times’ Lionel Barber address the stark contrasts in two national newspapers’ reportage of the infamous pictures in question (Brits and Americans) and he poses the question: how did a well-respected media institution let their guard down?
