Erol Morris documentary: Fog of War |
|
If anyone hasn't seen it yet, I strongly suggest watching Fog of War.
It will be on the True Stories channel again Thursday night at 8:30 or 9:30 pm.

It's part of the Encore family of cable stations, and its either digital or premium, depending on which cable/satellite company you subscribe to.

looked pretty good for being 88 years old. Erol Morris did a great service by doing this doco. It's hard for me to understand how McNamara can observe US conduct at the end of WWII was criminal while choosing not to see the criminality in Vietnam.

10. If you happen to come across a copy of the dvd of it, |
|
You should watch the extras. There's one part where he states his own outline of the 10 points to war. (They differ immensly from the ones used in the movie itself.) It is an excellent movie - but after watching this extra clip - I was totally blown away.
