Michael Lind: For the neo-conservatives, religion is an instrument of promoting morality. Religion becomes what Plato called a "noble lie". It is a myth which is told to the majority of the society by the philosophical elite in order to ensure social order.
- Versioni alternativeFor its second BBC broadcast in January 2005, part 3 was updated to reflect the Law Lords' recent ruling that the detention without trial of foreign terrorist suspects was illegal.

Recensione in evidenza
This is a superb 3-part BBC documentary about how gov'ts overblow
threats to create "nightmares" which can then be used for domestic
purposes/control. It traces the US neo-cons back to the Cold War days
and examines how both the neo-cons and Islamic fundamentalists falsely
claim credit for destroying the overblown threat of the USSR. The film
then examines the so-called War on Terror (WoT). It includes
outstanding "evidence" of the terrorist "sleeper cell" trials in the US
(you have to watch and see this evidence to believe it!!). This is an
extremely well done, insightful look at the post-9/11 reactions by the
US and UK and will challenge propaganda about the WoT (e.g. the US
gov't named Al Queda not Bin Laden; nuclear scientists and the Pentagon
both say a "dirty bomb" would most likely not kill anyone) with
reasoned and well-sourced logic and arguments.

The first episode is not the most exciting, since it does the
historical background to set up the last two episodes. (You can get
the gist of the entire documentary just by watching the last two.
Viewing the BBC's link above will give some add'l info.) Few can claim
to know about the clash of the US/west versus Muslim fundamentalism and
the interaction of US politics in that clash without seeing this video
-- it's that good!
