Bookings Essential !!! [ Photo of PILGER & WILKIE ] "An astonishing piece of journalism. Pilger's arsenal of facts is awesome." - UK Guardian. JOHN PILGER's latest documentary "Breaking the Silence: Truth and lies in the war on terror" was filmed by Pilger and his team in Afghanistan and the United States and includes previously unseen material from Iraq. The film investigates George W Bush's "war on terror". In "liberated" Afghanistan, the US has its military base and pipeline access, while the people have the warlords who are, says one women, "in many ways worse than the Taliban". In Washington, a series of remarkable interviews includes senior Bush officials and former intelligence officers. In the week that the Hutton inquiry into the death of the British scientist Dr David Kelly releases its report, a former senior CIA official tells Pilger that the whole issue of weapons of mass destruction was "95 per cent charade". ANDREW WILKIE, who is interviewed in the film, was formerly a senior Australian intelligence officer with the Office of National Assessments. He resigned his position in March in protest at the Howard's government's decision to commit troops to a war on Iraq. Wilkie has argued since his resignation that the war was never about combating "terrorism" or "weapons of mass destruction" but rather about US interests in the Middle East. Both JOHN PILGER and ANDREW WILKIE will be answering questions at the film screening, which is being organised by the Stop the War Coalition. Pilger and Wilkie will also be addressing the "Troops out of Iraq" rally in Sydney on March 20, 12 noon at Hyde Park North.
