ReplyDeleteSorry I missed that talk from Ed,the thought has entered my head that this charade is just part of a bigger plot by those with the most to hide to give a kiss of death to any chance of the real truth about our dirty little war ever being told,rather than any exercise in gathering information,this would most definitely suit both sides.the project was and is a worthy piece and should have been encouraged rather than hounded,but then again when we see the scumbags who led and prosecuted the war here its is no wonder that they would never want the truth to come out.
