'A John Pilger expose of the lies and manipulation surrounding the War on Terror and the Neo-Con agenda. Essential viewing, fantastic effort on the part of Pilger, and some incredible footage implicating and exposing the criminals in power. You will NEVER look at the people who supposedly govern you in the same way again'

"There are times when one tragedy, one crime tells us how a whole system works behind its democractic facade, and helps us understand how much of the world is run for the benefit of the powerful and how governments often justify their actions with lies."
-- John Pilger

In the 1960s and 70s, British governments, conspiring with American officials, tricked into leaving, then expelled the entire population of the Chagos islands in the Indian Ocean. The aim was to give the principal island of this Crown Colony, Diego Garcia, to the Americans who wanted it as a major military base. Indeed, from Diego Garcia US planes have since bombed Afghanistan and Iraq. The story is told by islanders who were dumped in the slums of Mauritius and in the words of the British officials who left a 'paper trail' of what the International Criminal Court now describes as 'a crime against humanity'.

5. I love the part where bolton...

..who looks like a puffed-up bullfrog says to pilger at the end of the interview,
"Are you a memeber of the labour party, are you a communist." .. :-) that was a real gufaw.

What an asshole, bolton needs to be unapproved by the new congress yesterday, incompetent
jerkwad, but after that video, i'm warm for an impeachment, then again, i never cooled to it.
