I'll see it eventually, FWIW here's the brief review from the link in the OP:
This was, bar none, the most informative and analytical documentary on the war in Iraq I've seen thus far. Missing is the leftist rhetoric and cleaver edits of Michael Moore (before I get tons of hate mail: I usually agree with everything he says, I just disagree with his method of presentation). In their place are the plain unadulterated cold hard facts (think Frontline), which are more than damning enough. Think of it as exhibit A in the trial of this administration in the court of world opinion. A must see for anyone who still feels that this country is worth living in (although you may find that conviction waning upon exiting the theater).
I've read other similar reviews.
Much of the post war rebuilding effort was incompentent beyond belief. Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City" lays out amazing tales of wide eyed Bush league repo delusion in that category.
