Don’t miss “Dead Wrong”
– the CNN special into the “intelligence meltdown” prior to the Iraq war. In the program, a “former top aide to Colin Powell says his involvement in the former secretary of state’s presentation to the United Nations on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction was ‘the lowest point’ in his life.”

Link to CNN may be broken.
August 19th, 2005 at 5:04 pmIt is broken. Try this one.

The problem is the link starts with sphttp:// if you delete the ’sp’ it should work just fine.
August 19th, 2005 at 5:24 pmIt’s as though Ted Turner purchased his old company and is trying to return it to its former glory.
August 19th, 2005 at 5:33 pmI also suggest Rumsfeld’s War, Frontline. You can view it online at PBS. The latest doc dumps prove it to be accurate and not fake. Factually correct.

August 19th, 2005 at 5:39 pmIn other words, what really happened.
August 19th, 2005 at 5:40 pmIn other words, 100,000 dead, 59 million wrong.
August 19th, 2005 at 5:56 pmAmen, Cynical Ex-Hippie. Sadly so.
August 19th, 2005 at 6:00 pm1862, and counting, wrongly dead.
I’ll be watching with my dear old daddy. He’ll be the one duct taped to the recliner.
August 19th, 2005 at 6:31 pmSo, +1850 dead – Thousands maimed for life – Thousands with mental disorder (PTSD), thousands of dead Iraqis (men, women, children), one bombed-out country later, an American reputation ruined for generations, the truth is eking out.
August 19th, 2005 at 6:43 pmI can’t even say better late than never — because for too many it is already never.
Thanks for posting this. I saw an ad for it, but didn’t catch the time.
Collin shouldn’t have let himself be used as a puppet.
August 19th, 2005 at 6:53 pmThis war is a tragic war for all times. How dare Cheney compare it to the American revolution.
August 19th, 2005 at 7:43 pmWhy doesn’t bush get with the program and finnish this war. If he had done it right in the first place it would all be over. You can’t fight a war on the cheap and do it half ass. Thier assumption were all wrong, not one was right, not one. I would rather cut and run than lose it this way.

If you do a little googling on Gen. Odom, no liberal he, you will find he has been consistently against this misadventure since the get-go, and consisten in his reasoning.
This war is a tragic war for all times. How dare Cheney compare it to the American revolution.
If he realizes we are the British, and the Iraqis are now the colonials, he’s finally getting it. It may not have started out that way, but that’s the way it was inevitably going to go.

August 20th, 2005 at 11:13 amI saw the previews for this a few hours ago and it actually caught my attention. I’m looking foward to watching it. I’m surprised MSM is addressing this topic. I hope the previews aren’t misleading.
August 20th, 2005 at 12:28 pmI hope it generates a large conservative audience, who may re-think their favorable opinion of the commander in thief.
August 20th, 2005 at 1:06 pmI wonder if any part of the documentary will deal with the 8.8 BILLION DOLLARS lost and unaccounted for in Iraq.
When pressed to explain, the CPA said, it’s not lost, we just can’t account for it at this time.
Middle men were used to negotiate contracts and they took the money and ran. The government paid and the contractors did not recieve. I can’t remember where I read that but the statements came from the Iraqi government. They handed the money to the wrong people. They claim to be ripped off but I’m not buying it.
August 20th, 2005 at 2:42 pm2 things about this special. 1, how much blame will the Bush administration receive from this show, and 2, you would never hear about a special like this from Foxnews, but you can bet your ass that they will come out in the morning and criticize it. Starting with Doofus, Shill and Kilsleaze, and ending with O’Reilly, prepare for an all out attack on this show.¬
August 21st, 2005 at 9:32 amWell everyone, I just watched this lame show and was disappointed. Here they go shifting the blame to the CIA and Colin Powell for being in lock step with this administration. When will George W. Bush and company be blamed for anything? Where was the Joe Wilson testimony, Scott Ritter’s testimony that there were no WMD’s nor any threat of nuclear proliferation?? CNN as usual took the lame way out and shifted the blame. Conservatives and those who support Bush and company will not blame them but will blame the “intelligence” gatherers!! And thanks Senator Byron Dorgen for blaming the CIA too! They told the truth to the President but he didn’t like what he heard!!I gave up watching CNN and now I know why. Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth..so help you CNN. Maybe I am alone in my views so let me have it. Thanks.
