Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis (1988)
100 mins.
The best program available on the history of U. S. intervention, covert warfare
and the implications of the Iran Contra scandal. Starting with the secret use
of Nazi's to carry out the U.S.'s cold war against Communism after Would War
II, this Bill Moyer's presentation traces 40 years of US covert and overt
intervention abroad and its implications for our country. Its coverage of the
overthrow of Iran's government in 1953 and Guatemala's government in 1954 are
the best accounts anywhere. Also looks at operations against Cuba, Vietnam,
Laos, Chile and Nicaragua. Fully analyses Richard Secord's "Enterprise." Pulls
off a startling juxtaposition of the Watergate hearings of the 1970's with the
Iran/Contra hearings to show how covert government undermines the Constitution.
Spectacular!
