The Lost Year in Iraq
In the aftermath of the fall of Saddam Hussein, a group of Americans led by Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III, set off to Baghdad to build a new nation and plant democracy in the Arab Middle East. One year later, as Bremer was forced to secretly exit what some have called "the most dangerous place on earth," they left behind lawlessness, insurgency, economic collapse, death, destruction – and much of their idealism. Three years later, as America continues to look for an exit strategy, the government they helped create and the infrastructure they designed are being tested. "Frontline" follows the early efforts and ideals of this group as they tried to seize control and disband the Iraqi police, army and Baathist government – and how along the way they became hardened to the realities of post-war Iraq. "The Lost Year in Iraq" is based on numerous first-person interviews and extensive documentation from the "Frontline" team that produced "Rumsfeld's War," "The Torture Question" and "The Dark Side."
