NGC Inside 9/11

Looking forward to this 4 hour, 2 part documentary with some anticipation and some anxiety.

Anticipation because I'm always eager to hear tidbits about the Global Jihad that I've not heard, perspectives I've not considered, or ways of thinking about the whole thing that I've not yet gotten my head around.

Anxiety because, well, it's a damned unpleasant thing to dredge up and I'm sure that some of the anger and hopelessness of it all will most likely resurface.

Curious to see if Scheuer (or anybody else for that matter) adds anything new.

Scheuer's new posting at lewrockwell.com makes some good points. I wish he'd tone down the shoe pounding just a leetle bit as it sometimes gets hard to see his usually valid points through the angry rhetoric. Not that there's nothing to be angry about. There's plenty, and I think his new article hits on a good chunk of that, but experience shows that it's hard to find a point when somebody's screaming buzzwords at you.

Take a deep breathe, Mike, and head back toward the more pedantic style of Imperial Hubris while keeping some of the more fiery style.

More after digesting the NGC special.

Robert Fisk's latest pieces on Iraq, FROM IRAQ,
seem to be showing a side of Iraq that we're not seeing to much of from the Green Zone entrenched big media. Kudos to him for his bravery, fortitude and forthrightness. Thanks, Robert.
