Description |
A post mortem on the "sexing up" of the case for war on Iraq, and what it means for our democracy. See the Minister negotiate a bed of nails, blindfolded, as he's quizzed on who knew about WMDs and wheat, and when. With their trademark biting irony, version 1.0 turn speeches, weblogs, Senate inquiries into political theatre for the 21st century: playful, surreal and gut-wrenchingly tragic. |
