A Glimpse of Hell, The

A Glimpse of Hell, The Explosion on the USS Iowa and Its Coverup is the name of the book banned from all US military bases by the Navy.  The movie will be aired Sunday, March 18 on the FX Television Network. 

It's an old story (twelve years for the story of the explosion, thousands of years for the story of institutions that lie to preserve power).  But, regretfully, it is a story all too germane to the abuses of power which the Bush administration has currently resumed. 

Read the Salon.com article.  Watch the movie.  Buy the book.  These are the days when we cannot afford to allow honest, competent journalism to go unrewarded.
