No End in Sight is high on my to see list. Unfortunately it hasn’t opened here, and probably won’t… I’ll be waiting to rent it as well.
The typical review has been un-michael-moorish; but yet hard hitting with simple facts from folks who were actually there in Iraq.
I’ve heard the same thing, and it’s definetely a big incentive to seeing it. I tend to agree at least in theory with Moore’s arguments, but I hate his general approach.
On Point : “No End in Sight” – “No End in Sight”: “In the suburbs of Washington and all around the country today, there’s a small army of civilian and military experts and soldiers who did their time in Iraq and are now back, brooding, ashamed and angry.
They are angry about how badly wrong their mission went, about how they might have done it better, but mostly about how virtually all their best ideas and direst warnings were steadfastly ignored by the handful of men who led them.
This hour On Point: In a new documentary ‘No End in Sight,’ those men and women look back in anger, and if you think you’ve heard it all, you haven’t.”
