years why we invaded Iraq. I have a friend who worked on documentaries back in the early 2000s. I steered him to PNAC's website back then and expressed the opinion it would make an excellent subject for his work. He looked into it and flat out said that it would be impossible to get it financed. It was simply untouchable. I'm waiting to see if Rachel has finally gone there.
