Iraqi Citizen Videos to air
24 Oct 2004? | Iraqi Citizens

Posted on 10/19/2004 11:04:45 AM PDT by maine-iac7

Help. Just talked with my son - on the road on job...says he just picked up a snippet on radio about a project where 1,000 video cameras were given out to Iraqi citizens with the only instructions to take videos and comments on how Iraq had changed and their lives, since Saddam was taken down. Supposedly they got hundreds of hours worth - "1000% positive for us being there" and had to winnow it down to air on TV - he thinks they said Sunday night - the 24th ? (That would be more reasonable than waiting til the 30th, too close to V-day.)

Has anyone heard of this. Is the MSM media trying to keep it secret? Does Drudge or Rush or Hannity know - or can they find out??? this would be a bombshell - right on top of the dems and the MSM Can someone contact the above with an alert? If it's true, the public needs to KNOW so they can watch -

I saw the producers for this video on Fox & Friends this morning. The footage they showed looked very positive and both gentlemen said they had way more footage than they could use.

I saw a short segment about this documentary on CNN. They played about a minute or so worth of edited clips. They made sure to show Iraqis with both positive and negative opinions.

I think something can be read into the fact that CNN showed it as "equal". I got the feeling from seeing some of the joy in the positive Iraqis, that it was much more a positive portrayal then CNN showed.

...but then again, I stopped trusting CNN a long time ago.

I think the film will be a good thing from what I can tell. We wont know for sure until we can see the whole thing. But it seems a fair account of the peoples there.

the dims will claim these Iraqis were paid by the Swifties,who were paid by the Republicans, who were paid by...HALIBURTON!
It's all part of Rove's evil plan.

They have web site, which I checked out yesterday. They have about a 5 min trailer of which I checked out about 3 min. They showed Iraqi's whom were both pro and con to the liberation.

I saw part of these video's at the conclusion of ABC's "This Week." While the majority were positive, Georgie kept replaying the same video of a disenchanted Iraqi cab-driver who wanted all American's to leave. They must have went back to this same guy on three occasions...concluding the segment with his anti-American comments.
