Merrie Melodies: Falling Hare

Bugs Bunny and a quirky gremlin star in this war time propaganda piece about the importance of remaining vigilant towards the possibility of 'diabolical sabotage'. One of my all time favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons and actually a bit resonant of 9/11 when the hijacked bomber that Bugs is riding in careens towards a pair of big city sky scrapers. Don't tell Glen Beck, please. I don't want Fox going after Bugs as a terrorist sympathizer.

War Made Easy

War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said shortly after the 'end' of the war, 'I don't think anybody has declared the end of the war as far as I know. Counter-terrorism will still be part of their mission.'
