This BBC documentary has had a very difficult time getting airplay in the U.S. (Which means it frightens the power elite with its honesty). This episode 1, which gives a great, simple primer for the topic of political fear in modern times. It would be interesting to see an updated version. But, it leads me to believe that the terrorist attack in Paris was "Manna from Heaven" for the Neo-Cons.
