starring: Robert Baer, Milt Bearden, David Corn, Chas Freeman, Karen Kwiatkowski, Joe Wilson

director: Robert Greenwald

A hard-edged investigation of the Bush Administration's controversial case for war in Iraq. The film presents interviews with more than 20 experts, all of whom have informed opinions about the reasons we were given for war and the evidence presented to support those reasons. Some supported the war itself, but are deeply concerned about the way information was misused. All believe it is their duty to speak up. Among those interviewed are former Ambassador Joe Wilson, weapons inspectors Scott Ritter and David Albright, anti-terrorism expert Rand Beers, former C.I.A. analyst Ray McGovern, former C.I.A. operative Robert Baer and Washington editor of The Nation, David Corn.

Iraqi WMDs, enriched uranium and missiles pointed at Washington: Ah, if only they existed. Using a brilliantly simple format, filmmaker Robert Greenwald pits CIA vets, diplomats and weapons inspectors against Rumsfeld, Powell, Cheney and Rice. The case for war loses badly. Bravo to Greenwald for asking the questions that the mainstream media failed to ask.
