After the Stele documentary was released March 6, the Guardian invited
comment from the Pentagon. Having
declined to take part in the documentary as it was being made, the Pentagon [6]said[6] it would study the film and perhaps comment at a later date.
Unhappy with the documentary in a completely different way is Kieran Kelly whose [7]blog[7] critiques the movie under the headline: The Guardian's Death Squad Documentary May Shock and Disturb, But the Truth is Far Worse -- a claim he argues at length. For example, he criticizes the movie's acceptance that "only" 120,000 Iraqis died in this American war, and he wonders how that "fact" squares with a million widows in Iraq?
Realistically, ten years after the American invasion, the Iraq war
isn't close to over. It's just
that, having prompted the Iraqis to kill each other the U.S. has left them to
it.
