Title: The Spies who Fooled the World (BBC)

Just when you thought you knew all the BS, nope you don't.  I know it was 10 years ago, and it might make you angry, however it is worth your 59 mins.

I was particularly fond of the part where they talk about how the Germans tried to keep the US from meeting Curveball because they knew he was lying and assumed the US would believe him.

I can't believe Bill Murray fucking sold us out like that. To think he used to be one of America's most beloved actors.

If I was in that room, I am not lying, I would've beat that smiling man to death with my bare hands.

It's important to note that Bush's attempts to shift blame onto the CIA are lies and that he was made fully and repeatedly aware that Curveball and others were making everything up.

while watching that documentary, all i could think of was, "why? what's the motive? publicity? fame?" i mean, it's a great documentary, but wtf, humanity?! really thought-provoking.
