The Power of Nightmares.

I just finished watching "The Power of Nightmares" on google video. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's a three-part miniseries that aired on BBC in 2004. It details the histories of the neoconservative movement within the executive branch of the U.S. government and of the Islamic jihadist movement dating back to the 1940s, and describes their use of the politics of fear to keep a population in check. All in all, very interesting stuff. Each episode is one hour, but I think that the third episode gives a good synopsis of the whole series, and has the most riveting content. ( here )

I would be interested in any thoughts those of you who have seen this series could offer, and would strongly urge anyone who hasn't seen it to take an hour and watch.
