He explores how the Canadian military is selling the mission and boosting public support for it, as it also increases its political clout in Ottawa. Brian writes: "In my reporting on the war in Afghanistan, I have often thought it interesting that despite Canada's costly involvement there, we have seen very little change in public attitudes towards the mission. If, two years ago, one had forecast that dozens of Canadians would be killed in Southern Afghanistan by 2007, with no clear success to the mission in sight, one might have predicted a strong current of anti-war sentiment emerging by now. While there has been widespread criticism of the government's "lack of clarity" over Afghanistan, Canadians are today still equally divided; roughly half for the misson, half against. Remarkably, Canadians on the whole still support the mission more than civilians in European NATO countries do; even though we've taken more casualties, and face tougher fighting. So what has held up this level of support? It is, in part , because of a well-planned, but little understood, campaign by the military itself to control our perceptions of the conflict. In my regular "Inside the Mission" reports for the National News, I've been stuck by the massive public relations campaign orchestrated by Canada's top soldier General Rick Hillier. It led to my documentary exploration of this military PR offensive, one unprecedented since the Second World War. " The documentary was produced by Harry Schachter and edited by Claude Panet-Raymond. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by............: festering leper Posted to............: alt.binaries.multimedia alt.binaries.tv alt.binaries.documentaries alt.binaries.multimedia.documentaries alt.binaries.tv.canadian Repost Policy........: None, sorry!
