The realities of Iraq through a new documentary film: "About
Baghdad" opens tonight in Detroit. Dennis interviews
producer/professor at Georgetown University Bassam Haddad.
There is little question now that the mainstream media has
thoroughly and fundamentally misreported on the US Invasion
and Occupation of Iraq. The media's willingness to tow the
administrations line while they reported from US military
vehicles, refusal to question US officials and the general
patriotic stance for the war has created a total confusion
as to what is really going on in Iraq. There is a documentary
that focuses a sharp light on the reality of the Iraq Occupation
and the evolution of a growing armed resistance. "Only
a far more genuine [US] attempt at creating a truely representative
provisional government will alleviate these problems".
