Clennon staunchly opposed theVietnam War , often participating in protests, and remains politically active. In 2013, he repeatedly spoke out against the filmZero Dark Thirty Academy Award , stating that it promoted usingtorture as acceptable.[ 3]
I firmly believe that the filmZero Dark Thirty promotes the acceptance of the crime of torture as a legitimate weapon in America's so-called war on terror. In that belief, following my conscience, I will not vote forZero Dark Thirty in any category. I cannot vote for a film that makes heroes of Americans who commit the crime of torture.[ 4]
