Well, someone finally posted The Power of Nightmares, a fascinating BBC documentary on how politicians have used fear to maintain their power and authority.

It’s surprising Curtis’s documentary (originally aired in 2004) didn’t become more popular in the United States; was it suppressed by the U.S. media?

Overall, it’s an interesting take on neoconservatives vs. radical Islamists. My only complaint is that it doesn’t address the $$$ flow, which is in some ways fundamental to the argument.
