Neo Conservatives
Osama Bin Laden
George Bush
Global terrroism
Afghanistan
9/11
The very best, and most unbiased serise of 3 documentary films on the subject are to be repeated on BBC 2 next week
Tuesday 18th 23:20h .
wednesday 19th 23:20h
thursday 20th 23:20h
My review is: Do not miss them, they are brilliant, and will change you view of world politics. Not sensationalist, just very good journalism.
The Power of Nightmares
read this for details:
https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4171213.stm
And I recomend that you video them too, for all your mates who you'll be telling them about the next day.
No weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, what a surprise. I predict a big political Tipping point approaching.
Enjoy

seen it.
drew is right - these programs are very, very good.
my only slight niggle was that they kind of make the assumption that we have swallowed everything our governments have told us - i felt a little like they did not think i had doubted the 'network of terror' lies at all (which i think most of us had).
still this does not detract from the fact that watching the rise of the neo-conservatives in america makes for a pretty scary piece of film.
== in other news ==
the beebs recent programmes about drugs were slightly disappointing i thought.
drugland was pretty unbiased and informative but the projection to the legalisation of recreational pharmaceuticals programme was a waste of time.
horizon last night however was superb - discussing global dimming and the problems that could rise if we cut emissions of pollutants but not greenhouse gases.
tis the 100th anniversary of special relativity next week so we can expect a good few science shows on the box
telly is good.
sometimes...

BBC sucks.
There aren't enough commercials, they don't tell me which side of the story is right and which side is wrong... and they don't wear enough makeup.
That's why I only watch FOX.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

i saw 'sweeny investigates' the other day.
another bbc corker - ripping the lid off of the kabbalah centre sect that is run more like a cult.
wicked programme with some seriously disturbing footage.
a bit of extra info on what these people are like.
