New Documentary - Showdown With Iran

See a new documentary from PBS, entitled "Showdown With Iran". The program goes beyond the neocon rhetoric and delves into the issues on both sides that are getting in the way of improved relations. Watch the full program online (6 parts).

Meanwhile, the Bush Administration continues to beat the war drums. The media blitz has already begun. There seems to be a clear effort to frighten the Country, and to get us ready for yet another war. This was the same M.O. used before the attack on Iraq. I'm starting to notice the same kind of reporting and the same language that was used regarding Iraq and its so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction.

However, the reality of the situation may not be what Bush & Co. would like Americans to believe. There is no clear evidence pointing to any effort by Iran to weaponize any nuclear materials. And under international law....under the NPT agreement, Iran has the right to use nuclear material for peaceful purposes.

The following is TPM video regarding the medias effort to push the Bush agenda on Iran. The IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei is mixed with comments from pro-war Conservative wing nuts.
