PBS' Frontline Examines How Rummy's NeoCon Cabal Manipulated 9-11 Into the Conquest of Iraq

"FRONTLINE traces the roots of the Iraqi war back to the days immediately following September 11, when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ordered the creation of a special intelligence operation to quietly begin looking for evidence that would justify the war. The intelligence reports soon became a part of a continuing struggle between civilians in the Pentagon on one side and the CIA, State Department, and uniformed military on the other-a struggle that would lead to inadequate planning for the aftermath of the war, continuing violence, and mounting political problems for the resident."

TONIGHT (Thursday) 9 p.m. EST.

3. Just checked my satellite guide...

This is the descriptive blurb about the Frontline report:

"Administration officials and Iraqi opposition leaders examine the reasons the United States went to war."

Hmm... are you sure it's goint give an accurate picture of how PNAC and the NeCons have manipulated the Iraqi situation? Sounds like it's more likely to be "canned hash" from the administration. Will just have to see.

7. Read the press release

I saw Charlie Rose interview the producer Mertin Smith last night, I didn't catch the whole thing but I was impressed. To even mention the OSP and what it's real purpose was is amazing for mainstream. They are really going after Chalabi on this show as one of the prime movers (and liars) behind the war. I just looked on Rose's website and the transcript of the interview is not up but I got damn excited to hear the show would air.

5. Thank you. I will pass this along to friends who thought I've lost my mind

when I told them about PNAC and Office of Special Plan. I consider most of these people well informed, but none of them knew about this.

It is very important that we get this information out to everyone we know. Most Americans do not know that their government is being run by an unelected shadow of an unelected shadow government:crazy:

[lovedems]

6. Am I losing my mind or are we finally seeing the media take an interest?

Please let this be the beginning of a very long headache for Bushco. and his PNAC idiots. Pleeeez

10. Frontline did a story that touched on PNAC in Feb...

If you haven't had a chance to see it, check it out here:

Thank you, PFIBN for the heads up.

8. It's 90 minutes long!

Should be outstanding.

[Hand]

11. Yes, Frontline is great!

It's one of the few--hell, it's the ONLY news show with guts AND brains. I've been regularly amazed at the material they present and the depth of their research--have been since 1986, when they did an utterly scathing examination of Raygun's directionless "peacekeeping" effort in Lebanon that got 250 marines killed. They've gone from strength to strength over the years.

13. Don't forget everyone

Looks like a good night for political junkies. I'll be watching two hours of debate coverage, and then on to PBS for Frontline.

[Eurobabe]

15. watch debat on one TV, tape on the other

thanks for the heads up!! I look forward to watching this get some legs.

[WilliamPitt]

16. THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PLANS

Finally. Can someone tape this for me?

[neebob]

17. Oh, yay

A reason to go on living here in the Bizarro World. And well timed! I need all the hope I can get. Too bad it has to be on PBS. Maybe one of those nasty liberal media outlets will pick up on it.

[fencesitter]

18. Thanks! I'll watch, will anyone else?

None of the average folks watch this show, just the news hungry and politically interested. Shame, it's always a well produced, in depth news show, but it's not "Dateline".

[rasputin1952]

19. Yep....

I'll be there. Taping one, and watching the other!

Third TV, maybe I'll catch Spongebob Squarepants, just so my brain doesn't explode with all of this stuff!

:bounce:

[OKNancy]

20. Kick n/t

23. Bushco heads off to spread the word about the "good" we're doing in Iraq

and Frontline shows tonight on PBS.

Coincidence?

[oasis]

24. The more questions raised about Iraq, the better. Get the information

out there and hope that enough of the American public will begin to see the light.

[proud patriot]
