PBS’s two-part documentary this week on the war in Iraq was one of the most compelling pieces of journalism I have seen in years. Bush’s War is five hours pieced together from more than 400 interviews that explain in amazing detail the events starting with 9/11 and ending with the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld.
Be prepared. Your opinion of the government and particularly the Bush Administration may never be the same after watching. It’s a stunning indictment of our involvement in the Middle East. The show can still be caught on TV in most markets or downloaded online. And, of course afterward I’m sure you’ll be compelled to join the discussion on the PBS Web site.
On a related war note, the National Archives has launched the Interactive Vietnam Veterans Memorial - a site that allows anyone to look up the more than 58,000 Americans killed in Vietnam and listed on the famous wall in Washington D.C. Virtual visitors can learn about each veteran and leave tributes.
