Rachel doing a documentary for Thursday...

Rachel Maddow will be broadcasting another documentary this Thursday, a follow-up to her doc on the lies that got us into Iraq.

"You'll recall, Hubris was about the stated reasons for the Iraq War being false, so 'Why We Did It' is about the real reasons."

The right-wing noise machine is going to explode.

I think we should move any further discussion of this documentary to the Creative Speculation forum.

We talked about it on DU. We all knew it was a sham. I don't know what new information she has, but I hope it's enough to arrest Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice and put them on trial for war crimes and many others.

... Halliburton companies such as KBR secured a large number of 'no bid' contracts for troop support and infrastructure rebuilding before we had any troops marshaled to go into.
