Bush's War Online

If you missed it, Frontline's 4 1/2 hours of programming broadcast on PBS last week can be viewed online, along with a lot of accompanying material.
There was griping among progressives that they left this out, they didn't present this piece of the story. But really, how could you fault them for not telling enough of the story with the kind of time?
Producer David Kirk had an online conversation at the Washington Post about the program and responds to that criticism here:

Our focus was the war about the war. We focused on the battleground between the forces that wanted war with Iraq and those who believed the so-called war on terror should be fought primarily against Al Qaeda. I personally believe the focus on what happened in Washington is the central story of the war. The decisions made, which we spent a great deal of time trying to understand and show, dramatically affected all the other aspects of what happened in Iraq--to a devastating end.
