Here's 10 minutes of a wonderful British comedy about the acquisition of intel to support the invasion of Iraq: In the Loop
One of my favorite scenes, which isn't in this clip, is when a US Army general who does not support the invasion is discussing the insanity of the idea. He indicates that the plan is to send 12,000 troops who are expected to carry the day. He then says that 12,000 is the number of troops who are going to die in this war, and that the goal of a war is to have some soldiers left alive at the end, otherwise "it looks like you lost."
