5. Old shows available via stream here:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/

This one will show up there eventually. Many excellent ones well worth viewing.

Even the OJ one was good, it was more an examination of what the trial and its aftermath said about American society than playing up the sensational case itself.

6. It all comes back to Rumsfeld...

It was a pretty devestating case against him.

He is evil.

7. Excellent program. It will accelerate the ReThuglican

dismemberment of PBS. In an of itself these should be grounds for impeachment. Karpinski came out looking better than any of them in my eyes. She may have her faults but this fiasco had nothing to do with her.

Rumsfeld is an incompetent failure.

8. great and scary

funny, it was only showing on the HD network here. I hope they show it on regular tv later on. Everyone should see it. No punches pulled.

10. Absolutely amazing....

Ninety minute program on a topic Lindy Englund was THE poster child for, and how often was Ms. Englund mentioned?....None - Nada - Zilch.

Meanwhile....

How many politicians, policy makers and high brass have been scheduled for jail/brig time?.....None - Nada - Zilch.

Personally, I'd like to see Rumsfeld spend several years in one of those luxurious 8' x 8' Gitmo cells he was raving about.

11. Well worth viewing, the chronological aspect worked well.

If I had one tiny complaint, it would be that they could have mentioned (I don't think they did) the photos and videos being held back by the Pentagon. It would go a long way towards showing that it wasn't just some isolated cases on "night shift". Recommended.

12. I can not BELIEVE they ran that program.

All these things I've been hearing about on Pacifica and on DU...now, finally, in a venue that the average American might see.

Rumsfeld did not fare well.

I cannot stand John Yoo (the coauthor of the Bybee (sp?) memo) regarding torture. What a self-justifying heartless man.

Michael Ratner did well.

It was an excellent program.

13. I'm watching it right now PST...AMAZING! I'm disgusted and yet glad to

see the topic being covered as it should....The only thing that would make this better would be if the remaining pix that the Pentagon is holding back....

John Yoo is disgusting....He teaches at Georgetown now where my Aunt works at Georgetown Law....She berates and debates him on this topic all the time. She did indicate however that he has actually shown remorse privately to her for his role in the Torture Memos and Patriot Act....He's Korean I believe....
