Larisa Alexandrovna On Bill Moyers' PBS Special "Buying The War"

1. Jonathan Landay, Warren Strobel, and Walter Pincus came off - rightfully - as the types of reporters we think of as heroes on the front line, the types of reporters that are very few unfortunately.

2. The astounding revelation that corporate executives from companies buying ad space actually pressured CNN on behalf of the administration.

3. The disturbing big picture view of just how well organized the administration's war marketing campaign was and questions that I have now (or more fully now) of just who funded this stellar effort to convince a grieving nation into a fabricated war.

7. The shocking lack of humility by those who helped lie this nation into a horrific war via their reporting- be it knowingly or unknowingly. Most of these journalists and "opinion makers" declined to comment and/or be interviewed, fearing perhaps, that to do so would force them to have to own up to their actions.
