American Idiot(™) Watch for Friday, September 8

Who on earth ARE these people, anyway?

Five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, better than 4 in 10 Americans still believe that former Iraq leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in those attacks, according to two recent polls.

An Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CNN released today on numerous issues surrounding the Iraq war, asked whether Hussein was personally involved in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Fifty-two percent said he was not, but 43% said they believe he was.

This comes despite wide media debunking of this notion for years. At a news conference this past August 21, President Bush was asked if Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 and he said it had "nothing" to do with the attacks. Yet polls show that a majority of Republicans continue to state that Hussein was involved.

A Zogby poll released earlier this week found similar results, with 46% claiming that Iraq was connected to 9/11, again with 2 out of 3 (65%) of Republicans feeling this way.

The poll of 1,004 American adults for CNN was conducted Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. Zogby polled 1,014 from Sept. 1 to Sept. 5.


Is their need to NOT face reality about this Administration so deep that they are that willing to cling to a falsehood?

THIS is why holding Disney/ABC to account about The Path to 9/11 is so important, and THIS is why demanding that they NOT broadcast a miniseries that rewrites history isn't censorship. Americans really don't pay close attention, and when they see a dramatization of people they know are factual, they are going to assume that everything in that dramatization is true.

Disney knows this. ABC knows this. Cyrus Nowasteh, the creator of this travesty, certainly knows this. And that's the whole point -- to get Americans to believe an account of what they actually experienced that isn't true.

And what does it say about Americans that they are that susceptible to a lie, just because it's told by their so-called leaders?
