"Dead Wrong:" Anybody got any stories about the aftermath of CNN's
bombshell program last night? I didn't talk to a lot of people today, but I didn't even find anyone who had seen it or heard about it. I'm wondering what everyone else's experiences have been. Anybody find any converts? Talk to any diehard deniers? Overall, was the program effective?

1. There's 3 different reactions posted at tpmcafe
http://www.tpmcafe.com/story/2005/8/22/8131/32911

I haven't seen it (actually, I don't watch any broadcast TV! :-) ) but I admit to being curious about the thrust of the programme. Judging by the comments at tpmcafe, it seems it was fairly ambiguous.

One poster there saw it as a blame-the-CIA whitewash, another saw evidence that "the theme was that the CIA was made into the fall guy by the politicians--with Tenet's complicity. IOW, to the degree the agency was faulted, it was faulted because Tenet overrode the caveats coming up from the analysts."

2. It was the series finale of Six Feet Under
I know allot of people that even had parties for it, so I'm afraid many people didn't see it.

4. I've talked about it ALL DAY. I know of no one personally who saw it.
But everyone I mention it to wants to borrow my vhs tape.
