| All about international bribery and corruption
|
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!
A full, fact based look at international bribery from US to UK to Saudi Arabia. You get a whole main course on corruption involving not just these countries but neighboring countries as well.
Bribery of course is nothing new, but Frontline really does its job of getting all evidence to show how it's done. You won't look at the UK the same again.
The US has a long record of corruption and bribery but so do other countries. Specifically here the episodes shows how the UK was involved in a shady deal with Saudi Arabia to get firearms and create jobs.
They also show you how Saudi Arabia (the same place where the 911 hijackers came from)using a few idle threats got the UK and US to back down (or go along with them)from carrying out the corruption and bribery from achieving any results.
You also see how Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher were also involved in the corruption.
It was hilarious when they showed how Tony Blair really is a bad liar and a corrupt fool himself.
I really enjoyed this episode. It was to say the least very informative.
On the sad side, it's also sickening how all of these countries engage in these activities while professing to fight for truth, justice and fairness in a world dominated by bribery, corruption and money.
