Not really, that's not to say it doesn't paint a decided picture but it's pretty objective at the same time.

I'd say this, watch it and if it challenges your pre-concieved views...think about what's played out more accurately in the past few years.

the funny thing is that parts of it are anti liberal. Its great if you want to catch up on the who's who of global strategists and the propaganda that our govermenet feeds us as well as the propaganda the muslim extremitsts feed their people to fuel the fire. Furthermore, it explains why there is a fire in the first place citing the cold war as an example..
Its done by the BBC and is un-biased.

i thought it was interesting.

I wouldn't say it's un-biased...as it does present a viewpoint that's somwhat counter to the Administration regarding the nature of the terrorist threat. Perhaps it's bias is that it's pragmatically biased.

Not that there isn't a threat, but how our perception has been manipulated...and how the Islamists have manipulated their people.

Hence the whole "nightmares" theme.

Interestingly enough, the substantial points echo much of what I read in the book "Imperial Hubris", written by the ex CIA Bin Laden analyst.

It's not liberal, but very critical of the Bush Administration. I could go on an anti-neocon rant here, but you could just as easily watch the videos

The BBC is very anti war/ anti Bush. So to say its un biased might be a stretch

Im talking about the BBC in general not the Documentary. And the links dont work so i cant see it. One would assume if its put out by the BBC thier same leftist agenda will dominate the Doc.

Have you ever watched anything on the BBC, or is this just what Bill O'Riley told you?
