John Pilger, "one of the worst journalists writing in the English language: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017234336

At the end of the film, 52:10, Pilger bloviates, "These are dangerous times. The one superpower left in the world has made its ambitions clear," over a shot of the United States Space Command publication Vision for 2020. Oooh scary. Pilger then quotes the document: "'The globalization of the world economy will also continue, with a widening between “haves” and “have-nots.'" Pilger then claims: "It says only military dominance will protect American commercial interests." But the very next line that Pilger decided not to read is:

Accelerating rates of technological development will be increasingly driven by the commercial sector -- not the military.
