The Power of Nightmares.

[Exsubmariner]

The biggest problem that I have with this film is its drawing of a moral equivalency between Islamists and Neo-Conservatives.

It is a very sublte assumption, but it's there. It is, in my mind, also contrived and baseless.

The other part of the film that found completely laughable was the assertion that Al Queada is completely ficticious.

The film-makers did make some interesting points and there is some food for thought there that is undeniable. However, they undermined their points with bad logic is many places. They frequently use subjectivism, Ad Hominem, Circular Reasoning, and Post Hoc, Ergo Proctor Hoc. Not to mention appeals to ignorance.

It's been some time since I saw this film. I would love to take it apart bit by bit. However, this is a long and tedious process and would convince none of the believers in the end. So it's an exercise in futility.

I put this documentary right up there with the Loose Change video.
