Jon Stewart interviews Douglas Feith

Feith, Former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, was one of the principle architects of the Iraq War.

No going for the funny, Jon goes for the point: didn't Feith and the Bush administration lie to us, deceive us, intentionally sell us war, by underplaying risk?

Feith says no, that while mistakes were made, and with the benefit of hindsight they would have done things differently, the mistakes were honest mistakes.

Jon (politely) calls bullshit.

No one is fucking around.

The argument between the two is laid out cleanly and fairly. You likely will not agree with Feith, however he presents his position well.

Jon taking Feith's argument apart is a joy to behold. Highly recommended.
