Three new provocative documentaries which offer a range of critical perspectives on the war in Iraq and its devastating consequences are
to air in britain as part of The Bloody Circus series on the More4 channel,

TV Iraqi Style

I'm keen to see just how provocative these terrestrial TV documentaries are, espesialy Why We Went to War it'll be interesting to see the so called dramatic reconstructions that portray the fraught conversations between Blair, Bush, his cabinet and advisors as they debated the decision to go to war. should make very interesting viewing.

All the best... ian
