Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire
Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party used the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home. The documentary places the Bush Administration’s false justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by neoconservatives to dramatically increase military spending in the wake of the Cold War, and to expand American power globally by means of military force.

I have your site bookmarked and have watched quite a few documentaries so far and find them very informative. Thanks for putting this together and keep up the good work.
Thanks decaris, I appreciate that.
good doc – very slick, approaches the political causes. Also useful to view from an economical viewpoint.
This documentary is compelling – but has a leftist bias (Norman Mailer and Naom Chomski)
Remember it was Bill Clinton in his 1998 State of the Union Adress who brought up Iraq’s WMD’s. The CIA knew that Sadam Husein gave up his WMD’s to deny his sons in law CIA protection after their meeting in Amman, Jordan.
Remember also, that the Democrats voted to go to war. If they were lied to – that just makes them incompetant… Democrats and Republicans.
Robert Byrd and Ron Paul voted “NO” for war in Iraq.
I was in Iraq when we were viewed as liberators and I thought that was a graceful time to leave. Paul Bremmer screwed that up by disbanding the police, military and public works… welcoming in the militias.
