I just saw Control Room. It was a fascinating look at how various news outlets covered the early parts of the US invasion of Iraq. Most of the film takes place in Doha, Qatar. This city housed both CentCom (The Coalition Command and their media services) as well as the headquarters for Al Jazeera. I have a lot of information to ponder about this film and I hope to have something to say about it tonight.
Some of the footage that was shown in this film was very much in line with the footage shown in Fahrenheit 9-11. Are critics expecting me to believe that two different filmmakers edited the same footage in almost the exact same way with the purpose of misleading the American Public?
