Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant and thought-provoking film. If you have not seen it, watch, tape it, TIVO - whatever it takes. (Posted earlier on GD: Politics but this is beyond "politics"). Worth staying home on a Saturday night (us old guys do that lots).

6. History Channel, 9:00 PM. About McNamara.
I would like to know about it before I watch. I saw Path to War on HBO, and McNamara left a sour taste with his Vietnam war.

7. when i watched that i was torn between wanting to kick McNamara's
ass and hugging him. It's an excellent film.

11. Wow the history channel commentators said both mcnamara and the
film's director, Errol Morris, have compared Iraq to Vietnam and saying we shouldn't be there. (this is not in the film, this is from interviews after the film was made).
