Victory Over Justification

I just watched a documentary on The Sundance Channel called Control Room about media coverage of the war in Iraq, with an emphasis on Al Jazeera, the Arab news channel. Most of the footage was gathered between the time the invasion began and our occupation of Baghdad. All US military-media relations took place at CENTCOM, located in Doha, Qatar, about 35 miles from Al Udeid Air Base, where I was the whole time the war was going down. Seeing all this really took me back to my time there, and it also educated me on different perspectives and a lot of the stuff I missed. Definitely a good watch.
