Breaking the Silence

Breaking the Silence Breaking The Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror is a documentary that dissects the truth and lies in the 'war on terror.' Award-winning journalist John Pilger investigates the discrepancies between American and British claims for the 'war on terror' and the facts on the ground as he finds them in Afghanistan and Washington, DC. In 2001, as the bombs began to drop, George W. Bush promised Afghanistan ‘the generosity of America and its allies.’ Now, the familiar old warlords are regaining power, religious fundamentalism is renewing its grip, and military skirmishes continue routinely. In ‘liberated’ Afghanistan, America has its military base and pipeline access, while the people have the warlords who are, says one woman, "In many ways worse than the Taliban." In Washington, Pilger conducts a series of remarkable interviews with William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, and leading Administration officials such as Douglas Feith, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, and John Bolton, Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. These people, and the other architects of the Project for the New American Century, were dismissed as 'the crazies' by the first Bush Administration in the early 90s when they first presented their ideas for pre-emptive strikes and world domination. Pilger also interviews presidential candidate General Wesley Clark, and former intelligence officers, all the while raising searching questions about the real motives for the 'war on terror.' While President Bush refers to the US attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq as two 'great victories,' Pilger asks the question “victories over whom, and for what purpose?” Pilger describes Afghanistan as a country "more devastated than anything I have seen since Pol Pot's Cambodia." He finds that Al-Qaida has not been defeated and that the Taliban is re-emerging. And of the ‘victory’ in Iraq, he asks "Is this Bush's Vietnam?" User: White_Wolf Aug 13, 2008 5:10 AM
