Part 1: Introductory Remarks and Gore Vidal

Part 2: Panel with Barton Berstein, Thomas Gale Moore, and Robert Higgs, Responses, Questions from the Floor, Concluding Remarks

Filmed before a live audience on April 18, 2002, renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind “patriotism” expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the “War on Terrorism” is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.
