The Hidden Iraq - At last the truth is out on video!


Jon Snow's 'Hidden Iraq' - A new jaw-dropping video
http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4159

It is impossible not to be moved by this no-holds-barred film of the
harsh actuality in Iraq, five years after invasion. I strongly recommend
you view this UK Channel 4 film, transmitted on 18th March, 2008.

Channel 4 newscaster, Jon Snow examines the brutal reality of life inside
post-invasion Iraq. With reports and unseen footage of recent violence and
human rights abuses from beyond the Green Zone, it paints a picture of a
fragmented state on the brink of anarchy and collapse --deploying regional
video journalists and specialist cameramen into areas few Western
journalists could ever contemplate.

To save having to click on all 6 parts, our playlist integrates
them into one film and displays in a semi-theater format.

Please circulate, because this is not getting the play it richly deserves.

Please bump. This exposes the cynical lie of the so-called 'surge'.

1. amazing video
and yes, the line people should remember is ... revenge is an arab tradition

Many in the US (and the west) fail to appreciate how the seeds of further conflict have been sown

2. Funny that you still post here (in moderation of course)
Too bad that you never replied to my PM or Will Pitt's "Ahem."

Normally when you publicly accuse somebody of being a CIA fake and the person wnats to dicuss the matter, it is considered unpolite not to answer and it undermines YOUR credibility in the matter.

Anyway I haven't watch the movie and I have no comment about that. In a way I applaud it, because it is a lot better then to go around accusing people of being CIA fakes.

4. My enemy's enemy etc.....
Yeah, I still post, even though my posts are usually modded into the 9/11 discussion,
even if they are not about 9/11. Seems I think too deeply for comfort. Look, I have
my opinions on Kerry's role in 2004, and Pitt's role as the Kerry link man to DU.
So do a lot of veteran DU'ers, but do we REALLY need to revisit all that?

Right now I want the troops out of Iraq.
For their sake and for the Iraqis sake.

The film makes really it clear why.

Maybe we can agree on that common cause. :)

5. You made an accusation that I was a CIA fake
and it was based on that I used material and sources which could have come from the CIA. That part is true; in fact some of my research came directly from a former CIA member and one story clearly came from French Intelligence (It was "Viva La France" all the way). That doesn't mean that the information is worthless, in fact it is often very valuable and the contents are more important than the source IMO.

I just wanted to say that I was rather disappointed that I was labelled as such on your website and Mr. Dunne didn't want to comment on what I consider faulty logic.

I want the troops out of Iraq as well. We have a common cause and you are not a freeper, so there is a common theme, however please no more childish games by publishing lists of sites and people especially if it contains valuable. In fact I'm sure that this film uses information from MI6, British Army and many more official source and that doesn't disqualify the contents...

6. Just the facts....
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 07:42 PM by BreakForNews
(edited to source that Keller skipped town)

This is no childish game.
This is what Anonymous would call 'serious business'.

And... Just a second.
I never, repeat never said you were a CIA Fake.
Google 'CIA Fake'. You are not on the list dude.

Let me quote you from the discussion in the BreakForNews Forum:

"How is it that I am recycling CIA Fake material?
Solely because you say so? Please enlighten me.
What makes you so sure that Atta/Keller/Hopsicker/Edmonds is a CIA diversion?"

http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2023#2023

Let me quote me in that discussion:

"I agree that the info in the movie is factually accurate where facts are stated....
It's the conjecture, that's the problem. Disinfo isn't necessarily claims that are incorrect.
It's a question of emphasis. It's about downplaying centain things and playing up others.
Clearly, you were very influenced by what Hopsicker has been saying and what Amanda Keller
has been saying and what Sibel Edmonds has been half-saying through a convenient gag order.
In other words the whole drugs angle on 9/11. And who could blame you. It was all over.
And it was posing as the inside dope on 9/11."


So we had a robust exchange.
I never listed you in CIA Fakes.
I confirm that. You should correct that.

Bit of a shocker when Amanda Keller subsequently recanted and skipped town eh?

Still think she wasn't a CIA Fake? lol
