I just watched "Control Room..."
Actually, I'm glad I saw it so late-- the lies being told by the Americans were particularly apparent--"we are not going to occupy Iraq" and my personal favorite Bush quote "just following orders will not be any defense" or some such thing. What a great documentary. I strongly recommend it to anyone else who hasn't seen it.

1. I watched it a while back, was a good movie.
I liked a lot of it, showing stuff that we weren't shown here, showing it from behind the reporters, al Jazeera saying of course they were biased but were trying to balance out common USA news like Fox. All in all a good show and I'd recommend it too.

2. Perhaps you have heard about far right political group in
Germany called, now hold on to your hats, "Die Republikaner".

Their popularity was at its height about ten years ago.

Not making this up.
