In case you are interested...this is very interesting...

Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party has used the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home.

The documentary places the Bush Administration's false justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by neoconservatives to dramatically increase military spending in the wake of the Cold War, and to expand American power globally by means of military force.

1. It's great.

Excellent educational tool for fence-sitters. F911 for people who want info, but don't like Michael Moore.

Really focuses on the neocons.

2. An excellent movie

The movie is being released in theaters as well as DVD. It gives an excellent overview of the Project for the New American Century... its history, its goals, and insight into the propaganda employed in forwarding those goals. Narrated by Julian Bond it includes interviews with a lot of familiar and welcome people... Scott Ritter, Norm Soloman, Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Norman Mailer, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Michael Franti and many others. It is an excellent companion to F9/11 in that it supplies the understory to the broad themes that Mike portrayed. I highly recommend this film.

3. but who wlil know?

The Bill Moyers 9/11 special on PBS this weekend was far more damning of Bush than Fahrenheit.. but there was no discussion anywhere other than Internet forums. Go figure.

5. People on forums will know...

Also, I know a lot of people who do not visit any political forums but are still involved in political discourse.

It is up to us to spread the word, I suppose.

6. Don't just suppose.... please, spread the word

Every one of us posts on other forums....that's the way to network and get people to -at least - open their minds to the unexplained questions that are so vital. Go for it....
