30-minute weekly radio program for December 14, 2010. Sundance-winning documentary (2005) on the U.S. war machine and imperialism since World War Two. This condensed version includes commentary by GORE VIDAL, JOHN S.D. EISENHOWER, and the late CHALMERS JOHNSON.
Interwoven is the story of Wilton Sekzer, a retired NYC cop, grief-stricken at the death of his son in the Twin Towers, yearning for revenge against the perpetrators, who he had been led to believe were the Iraqis. He sought a memorial to his son, and eventually a giant "bunker buster" bomb was dropped on Baghdad bearing the inscription, "In loving memory of Jason Sekzer."
He now struggles with the knowledge that the Iraqis were innocent of 9/11 and that he had been deceived by his President.
