Anyone Pick Up On The Irony Of Having Soldiers In Iraq Award The Best Docu Short... (Spoiler)
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 12:03 AM by Hissyspit
to "Freeheld," a documentary about a cop battling the county to have the right to pass on her pension to her long-time gay partner.

The soldiers made the award live via satellite, in case you missed it.

"Freeheld" is 38 minutes long. It competed as a documentary short.

4. Soldiers in Iraq do not establish Dept. of Defense policy.
That is done by the President and Joint Chiefs.
