10. With every promo for this show, she has added the caveat that heads will likely explode!

I can only imagine the meetings that took place over the making of this documentary and the reaction to it was likely at the top of their list of things to talk about.

This is a boil that has needed lancing for 10 years. A lot of what we'll see will not necessarily be new information, although some of it will be. What will be "new" will be laying it all out to a logical conclusion of what was done to us by the Bush Administration to convince us that we "needed" to go to war in Iraq. Most Americans were duped into it because they listened to Bush/Cheney and their henchmen and the lies they told us were accepted as truth. The few people who actually said aloud that it was BS were ignored and were labeled as "tin foil hatters". And no one wanted to believe that our own government would do this to us. But they did. And this documentary is going to show how they did it.

I think part of her ultimate goal in doing this is to make the case that it REALLY happened, it was not just a theory unbolstered by facts. There are plenty of facts to show that it was a willful and deliberate deception of the American people. And the second thing is to try to help instill a healthy dose of skepticism in the American people to NEVER AGAIN have blind trust, especially when there are others pleading for transparency and openness to the facts. Maybe once it's all out there, people will begin to understand that things like this don't just happen somewhere else, but can happen HERE and right under our noses.

My fondest wish would be for those who pulled this off to be prosecuted for their lies and deceptions. Not holding my breath, but just the fact that this documentary spells it all out helps. At least the people who do not want to believe it will have a harder time defending what happened. I do not think the comments made by Cheney in the past few days just "happened" to have been released. They are deliberate attempts to rewrite history and blunt the impact of this documentary. I hope the American people are smart enough to see through his lies and continued distortions.

And yes, I think a few heads will explode Monday night at 9 p.m. (Eastern) on MSNBC.
