I remember it specifically saying that there was no such thing as Al Queda. It was what the Bush administration labeled the group of Islamic Terrorists and from there they became an organization. I'm sorry, but that is bull in my eyes. THere is no set of facts from some website/article or even the f'in BBC for the matter, to change my mind on that one. |
Thats correct. Whats in a name? Bin Laden never publically said that his "clan" was called Al Queda until after the label had been applied. The film doesn't argue that terrorist groups don't exist. They acknowledge that these groups had a part to play on sept 11. All the video is saying is that politicians can exploit our fear to get what they want. And why wouldn't they?
9/11 provided the perfect catlyist to allow the government to implement sweeping changes to rights, and to increase defence spending substantially in the name of security and freedom. Hitler did the same thing. Why is this any different?
