Think about it. The American people are scared out of their wits, thinking that a nuclear bomb could hit them at any moment because of terrorist groups obtaining WMD's, thus the American people turn to the only people who can do anything about it, their government/army. The American people freely give away their rights and freedoms in order to obtain more "needed" security, and more homeland security.

Personally, I don't think I believe this. I watched the video, but I didn't really see any solid proof. SolSkye, I don't believe Howie is saying that BBC isn't to be trusted because it's an unreliable source, he's merely saying that there really is no such thing as I guess a "whole truth". I can't really express it in words well what that means... but look at it this way. We go to the doctors when we're sick. The doctor tells us we have to take this certain pill to get better. We have no idea what that pill does, we just simply accept it, and assume that it's going to make us better. What is there to prove directly in front of our eyes that it is indeed going to make us better?

We can only ever believe what we see and hear, but that doesn't necessarily make it true either. Just because the BBC appears to be unbiased and truthful, doesn't mean they are, and it doesn't mean that they know any better than the average Joe. All I'm trying to say, is that especially nowadays, it's nearly impossible to be able to really KNOW anything for certain.
