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?
