Terrorism Propaganda
10 March 2006
This is a slick well put together piece of terrorist propaganda in which 3 boys who have had all the privileges and liberties of western society travel, weeks after 911, 12000 miles across the world and "get lost" in a van with 50 other foreign fighters, who also "got lost" after accidentally picking up AK47s and rpgs, and again accidentally head for the front-line in an imminent war. they are somehow mistaken for fighters, although they can't figure out why,something about the convoy being full to the brim with gun totting lunatics and are subsequently captured by Americans who are unrelentingly portrayed as barbarians.

The trick of this docu-farce is to make out that the terrorists are human beings too-- without showing one image of the child murderers they truly are..

The truly funny thing about this movie is the way the terrorists are portrayed as all being saintly individuals who would never hurt a fly (complete to swooning music).

The story is comical and riven with errors and smacks of a hastily put together "I-got-lost" tale given quickly after capture.

note: listen to the stats at the end and notice how not one mention is given of the 17% of terrorists that are recaptured on the battlefield after release...

defo worth a watch but doooooooooont get sucked in....
