Wow, it just occurred to the cyborg today while watching Body of War, that one of the possibilities of this blog is that I can promote a documentary! My good friend, Da Dobbs, recommended this wrenching documentary to me including a link to the Washington Post review of it. I’ll say at moments where it seems so many forces are so hard at work to make sure we forget we are at war, these type of documentaries are necessary, because the patriotic reaction to those forces that try to make us forget is to continue to pay attention to this war and to increase the pressure to end it.
This poignant documentary follows Iraq wounded veteran, now anti-war activist, Tomas Young, through his daily routines and political activism. Parallel to this, the documentary also shows the shameful moment in history in which congress abdicated its constitutional duties to the mad man in the white house. How pathetic to watch most senators act like parrots, repeating ad nausea anything that came out of the mad man’s born again mouth.

If this great documentary, is not in a theater close to you, call and ask for an explanation as to why is not being shown ans ask that your theater schedules it.
