confronts us again in all his perverse duplicity via newsreel footage in Gavin Hood’s Official Secrets. His lies and posturing were almost as grotesque as Trump’s. The corporate media fell right into line, functioning for a time practically as a propaganda adjunct of Bush’s White House, as it led this country into a catastrophic war based on sham.
Watchng Official Secrets brings it all back–it was appalling then, and it’s appalling still.
Monstrously unfit and dishonest politicians like GW softened America up for Trump.
