Tonight on PBS, The Case for War: In Defense of Freedom


A tipster has informed me that tonight on PBS at 10pm EDT (9pm Central), the documentary The Case for War: In Defense of Freedom will air on PBS. It's a part of the America at a Crossroads Series.

From the PBS site:

With debate over the war in Iraq still dominating policy discussions, this film follows one of the advocates for the war against Saddam Hussein.

Former Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle, pictured on the left, travels the globe articulating, defending and debating the neoconservative case for an assertive American foreign policy. Perle finds no shortage of candidates willing to challenge him on these issues.

In London Perle talks to one of the few journalists who has interviewed Osama Bin Laden, Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of Arabic newspaper Al Quds. Atwan complains that US foreign policy has brought destruction to Iraq, and US invasion is the cause of current bloodshed and chaos in Iraq. Perle replies that chaos is caused by Jihadists and Iraqi insurgents, and if they ceased their attacks, Iraq could be successfully reconstructed.
