Body of War

 Wired: In the film, you show the lead-up to the vote to authorize an invasion of Iraq. Senators and congressmen from both parties basically quote the same lines -- the "smoking gun becomes a mushroom cloud," the Saddam-Hitler comparisons. Someone was obviously feeding them their material. Donahue: They came from the White House Iraq Group, or WHIG. It's made up of advertising agency warriors. These are the people who name our invasions. Rolling Thunder, Shock and Awe. As if it was a videogame. Imagine! Shock and Awe. This is embarrassing. It makes us look like we are not a serious nation. The American public watches on TV as we drop bombs on old people and children while they are sleeping. And then we have a public argument about whether or not waterboarding is torture. http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/02/donahue-tackles.html
