Guess what I saw on my TV in Trölhattan
A couple nights ago, I was in Trölhattan, a city with about 50k inhabitants in Sweden.

At 11 PM, all was quiet around my hotel and I was scanning all 9 (!) stations on the television.

On the swedish national channel, I ran across a documentary on the Bush* administration which was, in one word, damning.

It had everything on Iraq, and for example reiterated the "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein had WMD" Bush quote that Mike and Randi love so much.

I was actually stunned at the candour, it was like a very long symbolman flash.

I am sad I missed the first part, and I'm gonna try and get you all a video link somehow.

4. Yes it looked like it
at least I often got confused due to swedish subtitles. It had nothing new to DUers and used all the known footage that would be in Fahrenheit 2.

It also had a stinging part about the "embedded" reporters.
