Bush, Blair and al-Qaeda in 2003. Obama, Cameron and IS in 2014. The cast list has changed but the story hasnt. Here are the words of John Pilger in his 2003 film Truth and Lies in the War on Terror: What are the real aims of this war and who are the most threatening terrorists? Who is responsible for far greater acts of violence than those committed by the fanatics of al-Qaeda, crimes that have claimed many more lives than September 11th and always in poor, devastated, faraway places...The answer to these questions is to be found in the United States where those in power speak openly of conquest and endless war... This film is about the rise and rise of rapacious imperial power and a terrorism that never speaks its name - because it is our terrorism.
