I have not seen the above video but I found it a major cognitive dissonance that we went to war against TERRORISTS with a campaign that our leaders labeled "Shock and Awe".

I mean the point of terrorism is not the damage you do, it is the psychological effect that brings the desired result. The administration labeled themselves as terrorists.

edit: correction I had seen it. Good film.

I read the entire book. Excellent resource if you want to know the history of corporatism in this country and around the world. BUT... Klein does not know jack sh*te about economics- needs some training in this area. Klein makes outlandish comparisons with neoconservatism and a free market society.
