FRONTLINE | Sneak Peek: Inside "Top Secret America" | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/frontline/topsecretamerica/ FRONTLINE goes inside The Washington Post's major two-year examination into the massive, unwieldy, top secret world the U.S. government has created in response to 9/11. Coming fall 2010 to PBS.

A major examination by Washington Post reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin is the subject of an upcoming FRONTLINE documentary produced by veteran producer Michael Kirk. The Post's two-year investigation looks at the top secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001—a world that has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that few know how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or how many agencies duplicate work being done elsewhere.

When they no longer care whether you know the truth it means only one thing: The gloves are coming off. And they're using Frontline as one info conduit to let us all know. Remember fear in the mind is their best weapon. Does anyone here really think all this is for a few rag-tag Afghan militants ?? Now you know - YOU ARE THE ENEMY.

When the law courts of Germany wouldn't give Hitler what he wanted, he simply created a parallel system and ignored the rest. Sounds familiar.

There is a building surronded by a large gate and constantina wire I came across in my travels to Arizona. I assumed it was a prison but when I stopped to rest near it, a short time later a man with a rifle wearing a uniform drove up in an unmarked car and asked me to leave immediately. I asked him what this place was and he told me "it's none of your business sir, please leave". My guess is that it was either one of those government buildings or a weapons test lab.

@bytwyzz G'day... Well, y're not entirely wrong there. Search 'Socio-Historical Quantum-Theology'; to see the Energy behind the Godtheories..! Happily, Karma & Kosmic Scoreboard-Effect conspire to allow Paranoid Violent Arseholes to succeed, at doing Stupid Bullshit ; for just long enough that Final Failure is Educational ! If y'd killed Hitler in 1937, then his Statues would still be all over Europe ! That's applies to the Excited Snakes of Amerika too, y'see.

I've waited for this documentary for well over a year now, and I was STUNNED by what I saw tonight when it finally aired. It was a complete SNOWJOB. Frontline spent less than 5 minutes talking about the massive domestic intelligence machine spying on Americans since 2001. They used old material from previous documentaries on Iraq and Afghanistan as filler for the other 55 minutes. If Priest, Arkin, or Kirk were threatened not to tell the full story then the DOJ should be forced to investigate.

something is up. The government wants the people to know of its corruption. They purposely made 9/11 look like a hack job. They could have easily made everything look legit. We need to step outside of the outside box and figure out what they want.

@5kehhn every job in government is payed for by the people,from in 1900 our debt was 1 bil,in 1990 it was 1 tril,in 2011 its 6 tril,and we are broke,all of our money is being given to these people now we must give some to the bank,and we cant know about anything they are doing with our money,and because you pay taxes,your tax money goes to kill people in other countrys,so your sweat is turned into blood,it becomes your fault for handing them your money,you like being at fault for people dieing?

[ieatwiteoutforfun]

@AllThatMakesUsHuman4 Hell yes. I wish PBS would just throw all its money at Frontline and Nova.
