I've seen some on that list:

The Corporation
The Control Room
Fog of War
Why We Fight
And Ralph Nader's film that I can't remember the name of and others that I just have forgotten.

Why We Fight and Fog of War are probably the best I've seen. Especially Why We Fight.

As oppossed to TheChief's special type of Propaganda.

You know, the propaganda that says that:

Bush is an Honest GOOD man
The Iraq war was based on self defense
Republicans care about people
The US health care system treats everyone with respect regardless of their power or wealth.
Global warming is a myth


Need I go on?

And of course TheChief's propaganda portfolio is flung into the ether ALL the way from good old Down under - a place called Perth Australia. Somewhere TheChief hides his US patriotism.

And in doing so TheChief betrays All Australians - a traitor is amongst us and he has not the courage to board a plane and fly to the USA where he will be finger printed and iris scanned (ITS THE AMERICAN WAY NOW - ITS CALLED THE LAND OF THE FREE)

I have no problem with people watching the films and challenging the film makers or proponents of these films on the content, the sources, the theories or anything for that matter but to simply criticize something you haven't seen or know nothing about shows a true sign of initiated ignorance.

Default bush's war PBS

I'm watching Bush's War on DVD, you can watch it online at:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/

The best thing about it is there are many of the actual people involved talking on camera about what happened. When you have generals, CIA, and current and former admin officials telling their stories, it's truely gripping and maddening for those of us who did all we could to stop the madness.
