BBC Panorama documentary: The Price of Victory

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

BBC just aired watched this excellent, albeit chilling, film. It follows the first three months of 'reconstruction' in Iraq. The BBC webpage probably gives a better summary than I can:

but I would urge anybody to watch it (using the link below). It also features the last interview with Sergio de Mello, a truly courageous and thoughtful man.

4. Warning for those here who are "sensitive" about military stuff.....I had

to tune it out after about 5 minutes. It's very upsetting to see our soldiers threatening a wounded Iraqi....and I wonder what this does to soldiers minds....and what they will be like when they come home. What they are doing is "torture" to me....in a psychological way.

Thanks for the links....but it's too depressing to watch this. Especially for those of us who protested. It's our nightmares about what would happen coming true.
