This controversial and arresting film takes you behind the walls of government as CIA, Pentagon and Foreign Service experts speak out, many for the first time, detailing the lies, misstatements and exaggerations that served as the reasons to fight a "preemptive" war that wasn't necessary. This documentary offers an in-depth look at the unsettling distortion of intelligence presented to the American people, the Congress and the press.

Panel Discussion:
Producer/Director Robert Greenwald has executive produced and/or directed 49 television movies, miniseries and feature films, and is the executive producer of the Uncovered as well as the compelling 2002 documentary, "UNPRECEDENTED," about the stealing of the 2000 presidential election in Florida.

Ray McGovern was a CIA analyst from 1964 to 1990, and regularly reported to the vice president and senior policy-makers on the President's Daily Brief from 1981 to 1985. McGovern is a member of the steering group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) which is a non partisan group of retired intelligence professionals.

Bechtel, along with Halliburton, recieves billions to implement US control over Iraq's resources.

Their efforts to privatize water in many countries was, in Bolivia, defeated by a grassroots rebellion.

Women, hardest hit by their policies,
are central to the fight against Bechtel, starting with grandmothers from Big Mountain who fought displacement.

Bechtel oversees the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain

Former Secretary of State George Shultz is currently on the board of the Bechtel Corporation. Shultz is one of California Gov. Schwartzeneger's economic advisors.

Last April, the Bush administration gave Bechtel the first big Iraqi reconstruction contract, a prized $680 million deal over 18 months.

As the resistance to US occupation increases daily, Bechtel, the second largest recipient of money to 'rebuild' Iraq, continues to implement US control of Iraq's resources. Bechtel is the world's largest contractor, profiteering from war, human suffering and destruction of the environment. Bechtel made cluster bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, has built nearly half of the world's nuclear power plants and has invaded Shoshone land to oversee the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain.

Bechtel has a history with Peabody Coal which led to the displacement of Navaho people from Big Mountain. They have tried to privatize water in many countries; in Soweto South Africa women and men are resisting and in Bolivia Bechtel's efforts were defeated by a grassroots rebellion led by women. Women, who are hit hardest by Bechtel's genocidal policies, are holding Bechtel accountable for its crimes.!
