Dirty War (on HBO NOW)

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

In could not find this in a search. If you have not heard of this HBO Special, it is about a dirty bomb, and what could happen.

On a personal note, I find this show very scary, and eye opening to say the least.

"I think I learned a little more about the organization of terrorist cells"

Yup, me too. The hair was standing up on the back of my neck as he went through the details. I think that was the best part of the movie.

Also thanks for the link. I was hoping a lot more people from FR would have watched this movie.
Do you think Bush will come out again to try to teach us what to do in case this happens?

Nuclear, Biological, & Chemical Warfare- Survival Skills, Pt. II

"There was a very thought provoking line in the movie. When interrogating one of the planners, an interrogator pointed out that the bomb would hurt more muslims as the west would be sure to retaliate. The terrorist was unfazed and replied, "We expect retaliation - it unites us and divides you."

Yes, that line stuck with me too. I kept thinking about that line as I tried to fall asleep. It makes perfect sense that they do everything for that reason.
Wasn't it chilling how the man considered his 5 year old son just another casualty of their cause?

OMG, this is Big! Thank you for the heads up. I bet Fox morning will be all over it; or they better be.

I just finished watching it. I have to admit I was very underwhelmed, in terms of plot. The reality is that not much happens in a dirty bomb attack, outside of the immediate area of the blast. Everything else is psychological, and practically none of that was brought up except via the fake news reports at the very end, which only lasted about 45 seconds.

One of the last scenes in the movie really scared me.

When confronted with the possibility of the West's retaliation, the lead terrorist smiled and said "we welcome your retaliation...it unites us and divides you".

I think that stuck with a lot of us. It was chilling.

Marvelous movie. The British actors were sort of unknowns, it felt real to me and very scary.

I wondered why the crowd didn't simply shed clothing and firehoses used on them,,that would be better than nothing.

Like hundreds of other exchange students living in Hamburg, Germany in the 1990s, Muhammad Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi were quiet, orderly tenants who never drew attention to themselves.

I commented to my husband that the acting was quite good. I was surprised.
I found it scary too. Especially the prep time before the bomb went off.
