"The Insurgency" frontline piece TONIGHT! - Producer Matt Haan on CNN
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 02:41 PM by FLDem5
They are discussing the birth and growth of the insurgency. Michael Ware was mentioned several times.

It looks fascinating. They got some AMAZING footage.

There are no other real details, just discussing the film. This looks like a DON'T MISS!!!!

The Insurgency
coming Feb. 21, 2006 at 9pm (check local listings)
(60 minutes) Kidnappings. Suicide bombers. Beheadings. Roadside bombs. The Iraqi insurgency continues to challenge the most highly trained and best-equipped military in the world. FRONTLINE peels back the layers and gets beyond the propaganda to take a complex look inside the multi-faceted insurgency in Iraq. The investigation includes special access to insurgent leaders, as well as commanders of Iraqi and U.S. military units battling for control of the country and detailed analysis from journalists who have risked their lives to meet insurgent leaders and their foot soldiers. On February 21, FRONTLINE explores the battle for one Iraqi town and presents vivid testimony from civilians whose families were targeted by the insurgents. (read the press release)



He said more journalists have died in Iraq than the whole of the Vietnam war.

1. "beyond the propaganda" -- yeah sure
The term "insurgency" is propaganda in itself. Whatever.

3. Agreed...more accurate term would be "Invaded"
Instead of the "Insurgency", calling them the "Invaded" or even just Iraqis would suffice.
