Perhaps the best Frontline I've seen.

I watched it a couple months ago.
It confirmed the info in a comprehensive article I read last year, (but I've forgotten where).

"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

It's pretty amazing the access the show gets. If you ever remember where your article was from give me a shout.

Was a very good one - just finished watching. The piece about Cheney not liking the CIA's answer to his question about Zarqawi's relation to Saddam, creating a linkage anyway and writing the speech that Powell delivered to the UN is damning. And of course, Cheney and his former chief of staff ignored a request for an interview.

"Relied on faulty intelligence" indeed.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Watched it the other night, it is an excellent documentary.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

One of my take aways, what would warriors do without a war?

Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan that I have met do not complain about fighting in the war. They complain, and rightly so, about the treatment they have received from the Veterans Administration.
