That documentary was meant exactly for such purpose. Emotional propoganda.
I bet they don't show documentaries of how CIA deals with people. Or how USA asks its allies like Pakistan etc to perform torture for them.

oane you’re talking to someone that makes the Lone Gunmen look like postal workers. I understand what you’re saying and I understand you don't know me. I'm a hard critic about everything. I overanalyze the fact I overanalyze. I recognize propaganda and see it coming (most of the time) I’m not one that goes to three or four websites, watches FOX and CNN for contrast, or takes the daily newspaper as my ticket to reality. I don't travel as much anymore because of my schedule, I certainly wont go to the middle east any time soon, which is a shame; I've seen some amazing things in Israel and the Palestinian territories, Sinai as well. Without being there what else do we have?
I'm assuming you didn't see the documentary. As far as I'm concerned if it was structured to only show the bad side of Saddam; it was enough for me. When is the line drawn on what is acceptable data that our brains are seeing as the truth. Any time I see a potential tin foil hat evolution I always attempt to find what I can at
http://www.house.gov/ , at GW University you’ll have access to declassified intelligence reports I suggest joining the mailing list

Then again you weren’t there so finding documents at the above places even if sent to you in hard copy which they will do, doesn’t prove any of its true, right? Let’s say you do find what you’re looking for. Let’s say you can provide material that gives you tools to debate confidently with the best of them, then what? Form an army? Start a revolution?
I’ve seen things come from every angle; I’ve seen ten versions of an historical event posted in the forum at the same time. Everybody’s right; everyone’s wrong? It’s not for me to say. I came to the conclusion that I can either become a hermit, accept the fact that I will never be able to start a family, and go find a cave somewhere in the hills OR
Continue to study world commerce, learn the game of the federal reserve and make it work for me, generate a position of financial liberation as anyone is capable and entitled to do and then reassess what I can do to contribute to making this country a better place. What I’m doing now isn’t contributing to me creating the things I want in life. If I’m going to continue to do the same thing; than I have to expect the same results. There are certain things happening that I will do what I can to peacefully protest, but complaining about the different ways and methods the US grants me freedom to complain about the US isn’t for me at this point.
The documentary was powerful enough with (what appeared to be factual footage) to get a glimpse of what Saddam was like; it was enough. I don’t care what label one gives it, he’s right there with Hitler.
I know about some of the things the CIA has probably done; I don’t have to like them. Do you think the US would be a safer, better place without it? Not me.
