Bill Moyers on Buying the War

By Colin Rule on

If you get a chance, I highly recommend viewing the first episode of Bill Moyers' new program Journal, entitled Buying the War, especially as it is available in its entirety online.

I have always found Bill Moyers to be thoughtful and precise in his reports, and this program fits the pattern.  I think the observation that journalists who are farther away from the Beltway often have a more accurate perspective on what's going on to be singularly depressing, but not surprising.  It makes me wonder what the final accountability for this tragic situation will eventually look like.  I would guess that the definitive eventual history of this period will resemble something like Mr. Moyers' report.
