Maddow Presents: Day of Destruction, Decade of War
A very important, three part documentary, by Rachel Maddow and Richard Engle is on the must-watch list for tonight and tomorrow, MSNBC.
The three-part documentary, which airs Thursday and Friday nights on MSNBC, is uncommonly long for cable television. It functions as a sort of primer on the expansion of the national security state following 9/11: the explosive growth of the intelligence community, the use of private entities to carry out covert operations and core spying functions, the network of secret (and not-so-secret) military and CIA prisons around the world, the intrusion into everyday American life, the use of torture on detainees and the continued warfare in the Middle East, to name just a few.
The first part of “Day of Destruction, Decade of War” airs on Thurs., Sept. 1 at 9 PM ET. The second and third parts air on Fri., Sept. 2 from 9-11 PM.

Will this be available on DVD? I’d love to have a copy for my son to see when he’s finished with his deployment in Afghanistan.
