..and theres me thinking that 'sexing' up dossiers was a recent thing!
next weeks should be interesting.

they're repeating it.. and now i have TV!
First one was on last night, next two - tomorrow and the day after.
This is some good shit... I had no idea about Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld/Cheney going back so far - and Fukuyama too, coming out of the Chicago school. I thought the Chicago school was the birthplace of neo-liberalism/neo classical economics (Milton Friedman etc.).
Such a well put together documentary too, brilliant use of editing, juxtaposition and music.
I agree Moth, everyone in the US should see this.

it's amazing. I was shouting at the screen when Rummy started spouting the same stuff... it was practically word for word what the head case said about Saddam...
I remember someone saying it changed the way they looked at the world after the first episode.
I know what they mean now...
