Marketing War

Short video shows how the propaganda machine worked (works) to sell war. This example used the invasion of Iraq of 2003 and features Bill Moyer an extraordinary journalist who puts it all together. What is the responsibility of media to report the 'truth'? How much evidence is needed before plunging a country into a war? How can we as citizens be sure that our Canadian soldiers are in a war that is just?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on these questions.
 There are several parts to the video, however first part provides most of what you need.http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/btw/watch.html
