Since the US-led invasion four years ago, the fifth estate has covered Iraq
and the war on terror from virtually every angle--the military, media,
intellligence, politics--revealing aspects of the story that you didn't find
anywhere else. Now, as the White House warns about the latest threat in the
region, this time from Iran, we go back to examine the deception, suspect
intelligence, even lies that convinced the world of the rightness of
targeting Saddam Hussein.  More info about this TV documentary:
