TY . I believe a lot of what is said about the manipulation of information in order to make us all suspicious of each other.

It's interesting that the neoconservatives do this kind of stuff - unless this documentary is full of lies. What I find strange is that this is from BBC... can we trust that completely?

They put comedy in there, too, to make the people who believe the neoconservatives look dumb, haha. Or when they talk about how those are all just big fantasies, they have that noble victory-like music.

I enjoyed watching it, but I am not sure how much the BBC can be trusted with information like this, considering the UK is a big ally with the US, and follow the US in a lot of ways. The way it is presented, and the information given, seems credible, though. I'd have to say, it did persuade me, but I am still wondering how true it is. What do you think about its credibility?

And, of course, it brought up the question "were the neoconservatives in on planning the 9/11 attacks?" Or did they just use the 9/11 attacks to their advantage after it had been done, and had nothing to do with actually setting it up?
