Documentary: The End of America by Naomi Wolf
In a stunning indictmentThe formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies. of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.

The End of America video was interesting although skewed to the left. Wold was not telling the truth concerning the Valerie Plame (CIA) leak. It appeared to me that she was primarily a spokesperson for the Democractic Party.

Had the video "The End of America" been skewed to the right the video and book would not have been made. The point is that the right has been bringing about the end of America. Valerie Plame was a CIA agent a spy and as such she was not a spokesperson for either party but was working quietly at her job. When her husband spoke out telling the truth it was the Cheney/Bush bunch that decided to punish her husband by hurting her. So really was she expected to stroke the backs of the very ones that ruined her career? She would certainly be more inclined to believe that she would find real friends in the other party.

The video was interesting but definitely leaning to the left. While I think that there were several good comments made and ideas brought forth it was however biased a little too much,. thanks for posting none the less.
