...they faced unprecedented problems. Reducing the bulk became all the more imperative when a ?1.5 million ($2.75 million) reward was offered. There is no honor among thieves. Next, the crooks needed to separate the money from the crime. In the old days, if you sold cocaine in Spain, you wound up with pesetas, which pointed to where the crime was committed. So you prewashed your loot into, say, German marks, and from there moved into dollars. You spun that money in and out of secret bank accounts (to obliterate the paper trail) and across borders, and eventually brought the money...

...evolution. Collins' version sees God as having preplanned the process of mutation and selection at time's beginning, knowing it would produce humanity. It differs from Deism, the "divine clockmaker" theology of Enlightenment thinkers like Thomas Jefferson, in that many Deists think God signed off once the clock was wound. Collins, on the other hand, thinks the whole point was for God to create a being with whom he could develop an ongoing relationship through prayer, Scripture and what the scientist cheerfully acknowledges as a scientifically inexplicable "divine invasion of the natural world" in the saving person of Jesus Christ...

...Hero. But the emphasis here is on spooky visual effects. One black-clad warrior has inky tentacles slithering out of his long sleeves, with stringy hair to match. Magic makes the forest?s leaves swarm like hornets around an adversary. Worms swarm in the blood of a chest wound. Our heroine cries tears of blood, and in one battle our hero kills 26 ninjas, the carnage backlit by a CGIgantic moon. I saw the movie without subtitles, but that didn?t seem to matter. Sorcery knows no language...

...dogs, among other techniques. According to Miles, Medics had to administer three bags of medical saline to Qhatani - while he was strapped to a chair - and aggressively treat him for hypothermia in the hospital. They then returned him to his interrogators. Elsewhere in Guant?namo, one prisoner had a gunshot wound that was left to fester during three days of interrogation before treatment, and two others were denied antibiotics for wounds.
