1. I'm watching it now

It's agonizing.

Every member of Congress, every member of the Washington press corps, every ratbastard in the White House should be forced to watch this.

3. True, remember many members of Congress saw the torture

photos as well. :(

I've seen outrage from some of them, not enough to hold this administration accountable.

5. Robert Byrd

A true noble man. A hero.

Pete Stark, too.

A lot of Democrats to cheer for, having the wherewithal to say that rushing into this INVASION (it's not a "war") was wrong.

The show ends with the news that that poor boy slipped into a coma. Jesus ..............

6. Sad... Update: Body of War - Tomas Young

"BODY OF WAR introduced viewers to Tomas Young, a young veteran who was paralyzed less than a week after arriving to fight in Iraq.

The past week has been difficult for the Young family. As reported by Bill Moyers, Tomas briefly fell into a coma brought on by a clot in his lungs. According to his mother Cathy, he is now awake and speaking for a few hours a day.

Tomas Young and his family welcome correspondence, and you can write them at:

Tomas Young - patient
Saint Luke's Hospital
4401 Wornall
Kansas City, MO 64111"

Moyers is one of my favorites because he is HONEST.

7. It was great, sniff, sniff

I liked the part where Donahue spliced the video so we could see the GOP toadies parroting
Bush talking points. How sad and what a young man to go through the ordeal that he has.
Truly an inspiration for us.

8. Thank you. That's very powerful.

Just shows that Scotty is not telling us anything we didn't already know.

9. Is this a rerun of the earlier show

or an update, does anyone know?

[MissWaverly]

11. it was shown again at viewer request

[Blue_In_AK]

12. And I watched it again.

Tomas Young is a remarkable young man. I was so sorry to hear of his deteriorating condition at the end of the broadcast.

[MissWaverly]

13. yes, the most amazing message is everyone is worth it

nobody is just a comma in Iraq's history. The shot where the Gold Star mothers just had to touch him and the young woman
that kissed him instead of her lost love one was beyond sad.

[slipslidingaway]

16. Thanks for your replies in the thread :) n/t

[MissWaverly]

17. thank you, I heard Tomas is really ill and needs our prayers

If ever there is somone who is a real hero, it's him.

[slipslidingaway]

18. Yes and I saw both updates, thanks n/t

[lonestarnot]

Thank you!

14. There was a really a sad quote.

"Nothing is too good for our veterans so nothing is what they get".

[MissWaverly]

15. they said that one of the songs for the documentary

uses that line, what a signature tune
