When Intelligence Fails

[TransAm]

Watched 3 episodes of this last night on Discovery Times (DTMS) channel

It was very interesting and well presented documentary from the perspective of global politics and history, I'd certainly recommend you keep an eye out for it and try and get to see it if you are in the US and have the Discovery Times channel.

They covered the Cold War spies, why the world took their eye off of Afghanistan and how that led to 9/11 etc, Why the CIA told Bush there were WMDs when they really werent sure, The Iranian revolution, The murder of the Christian leader in El Salvador back in the early 80s, why Stalin wasn't told the Germans would attack him in WW2 etc.

For me it was a real eye-opener, lots of these events having taken place in the early part of my lifetime when I was too young to have an appreication for current affairs of the day.

For the UK folks - this was a British production so it might well appear on one of the digital channels at some point. If I had the facility to record TV here (no video nor DVR) I would have grabbed it for you, but I couldnt. Maybe check the torrent sites if you are interested?
