Description |
On April 11, 2003, while Baghdad was being pillaged in the aftermath of invasion, the American Secretary of Defense held a press conference at which he said "Stuff happens... it's untidy, and freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."
David Hare takes Donald Rumsfeld's comments as the starting point for his odyssey into the heart of the reasons for the invasion of Iraq. Transcripts from articles and press conferences are fused with real dialogue collected in personal interviews. |
