60 Minutes tells the story of a completely innocent 19-year-old German man, Murat Kurnaz, originally grabbed from a bus while visiting Pakistan three months after Sep 11, 2001, only because of a paid bounty of $3,000. He was held by the U.S. for five years. He was tortured by the U.S. military with the collaboration of medical doctors for six weeks after being rendered from Pakistan to Kandahar, Afghanistan. Then his torture began at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. After six months at Guantanamo the U.S. knew and recorded that he was totally innocent. German documents from 2002 also state that the U.S. considered him innocent and that he was to be released in six to eight weeks. He was held by the U.S. an additional three years and six months in Guantanamo until he was released in August, 2006.

Martial Law: 9/11 Rise of the Police State was filmed primarily during the GOPher's 2004 national convention in New York City. The GOPhers' choice to hold the event there drew both strong praise and strong criticism. Alex Jones' clear intent was that the people who were truly guilty of planning and carrying out the events of September 11, 2001, were coming back to the scene of the crime. In the film, Jones shows what he believes are signs of a growing police state: constant surveillance, a defined military presence, a militarized civilian police force, mass roundups and arrests of protesters, detention in a makeshift facility laden with asbestos which one interviewee called a "concentration camp," and threats of arrest for constitutionally legal activities. Many different views are presented, including one semi-humorous confrontation with a group of American Communists.

At the 2004 GOPher convention, Cheney the Disgusting said:
"Just as surely as the Nazis during World War Two and the Soviet communists during the Cold War, the enemy we face today is bent on our destruction. As in other times, we are in a war we did not start, and have no choice but to win. Firm in our resolve, focused on our mission, and led by a superb commander in chief, we will prevail. The fanatics who killed some 3,000 of our fellow Americans may have thought they could attack us with impunity because terrorists had done so previously. But if the killers of September 11th thought we had lost the will to defend our freedom, they did not know America and they did not know George W. Bush."

"I watch him at work every day. I have seen him face some of the hardest decisions that can come to the Oval Office and make those decisions with the wisdom and humility Americans expect in their president. George W. Bush is a man who speaks plainly and means what he says. He is a person of loyalty and kindness and he brings out these qualities in those around him. He is a man of great personal strength and more than that, a man with a heart for the weak, and the vulnerable, and the afflicted. We all remember that terrible morning when, in the space of just 102 minutes, more Americans were killed than we lost at Pearl Harbor. We remember the President who came to New York City and pledged that the terrorists would soon hear from all of us. George W. Bush saw this country through grief and tragedy. He has acted with patience, and calm, and a moral seriousness that calls evil by its name. In the great divide of our time, he has put this nation where America always belongs: against the tyrants of this world, and on the side of every soul on earth who yearns to live in freedom. Fellow citizens, our nation is reaching the hour of decision, and the choice is clear. President Bush and I will wage this effort with complete confidence in the judgment of the American people."
