Iraq In 2020

Tonights lineup below, this is avaiable online now for twenty four hours.
You may wish to bookmark the link, Newsnight is running an Iraq series for the rest of the week, programs to include the "Neocon view" and the "Bloggers view"
It will give Americans and those from other countries around the world that would otherwise not have the opportunity to do so to watch Brit style TV, if nothing else I can only guess it will be a lot less sanitised than what you are used to.
Click on the "Latest Programme" link, top right, not the previews.
Can't say I'm impressed with the loud mouth Dem that's on the show, wouldn't be in the running for something perchance?




MONDAY 19 MARCH 22:30 GMT - BBC TWO
FROM PROGRAMME PRODUCER SIMON ENRIGHT

Hello,

IRAQ IN 2020

Jeremy Paxman presents a different and fascinating edition of the programme tonight. On the 4th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq we are debating what Iraq might look like in the year 2020.

We've asked two leading academics - both of whom are used as advisors on Iraq by governments around the world - to paint us a vision of Iraq in the future. We've fictionalised their assessments to give a dramatic interpretation of Iraq in 2020.

To debate what Iraq and the world should do now to produce the best possible future we'll be joined by a high powered group of thinkers, analysts and players: including the US State Department, the Syrian Ambassador, a former member of the Iraqi government, the Kurdish Ambassador, a leading Democrat opponent of the war and congressman, and the British Special Envoy on human rights in Iraq.
