Bill Moyers: Buying The War
If you watch just one documentary this year, the Bill Moyers special on how the public was sold the Iraq war should be it.
It's available in its entirety at the PBS website.
If you don't watch it, you should be forced to spend eternity here.
Note the punishment doled out for leading the country into a death-trap quagmire: Paul Wolfowitz, the war's architect, gets a posh job at the World bank he manages to fuck up in no time flat. William Kristol, the Harvard talking-head and ex-worker bee for Reagan and Dan Quayle, gets rewarded for his idiotic prognostications and propaganda regurgitation with a full time journalism position at Time magazine.
