BJ, what's Standard Operating Procedure about?

It's Errol Morris's doc about U.S. torture policy.

I suspect if the long-standing near-aversion to Morris didn't do it, it's Iraq doc overload that kept it out of the category. Still, it was as good as last year's winner, Taxi to the Dark Side, and merited a nomination.
