I just saw a promo for a Frontline (PBS) program on the election. The program has a reputation for quality it does not deserve any more, if it ever did.
Here's Robert Parry:
Yet, Frontline and other mainstream U.S. news outlets shy away from this central fact of the Iraq War: by invading Iraq without the approval of the U.N. Security Council and under false pretenses, the Bush administration released upon the Iraqi people “the accumulated evil of the whole” – and committed the “supreme” war crime.
The promo used the tune "Democracy" by Leonard Cohen. I'd tried to get the Nader campaign to use the song in its 2000 campaign without success. The program "Democracy Now!" did pick up the suggestion and still uses it periodically.
