Secret Iraq

Awakening (1x2)

Date de diffusion: Oct 06, 2010

The film picks up the story of Iraq after Saddam in the third year of occupation. Evidence suggests that the coalition knew the Iraqi government and police force it had created were deeply involved in sectarian killing that cost tens of thousands of Sunni and Shia Iraqis their lives. A senior US commander reveals the secret report he wrote and describes the actions of Iraqi politicians as war crimes. Insurgents and others who were close to Al Qaeda explain how the organisation thrived in the chaos and soon controlled large swathes of Iraq.
