The Fifth Estate : The Lies That Led To War

submitted by Fedquip

1 decade 7 years 3 months 2 weeks ago

First Aired March 7th CBC - Canada

"Since the US-led invasion four years ago, the fifth estate has covered Iraq and the war on terror from virtually every angle--the military, media, intelligence, politics--revealing aspects of the story that you didn't find anywhere else. Now, as the White House warns about the latest threat in the region, this time from Iran, it's worthwhile looking back to examine the deception, suspect intelligence, even lies, that convinced the world of the rightness of targeting Saddam Hussein."

Some of us knew all of this before March of 2003, before a shot was ever fired.

It only took 4 years, billions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands dead for everyone else to catch up. Way to go, everybody.

The power of the media eh?

I think this debacle has made many people much more inquisitive, I certainly admit to being one who took it all at face value. I would only hope such disgrace is less likely in future with growing outlets of non corporate controlled news and information.
