The BBC site says the panelists "passionately argued their views from all sides of the debate" - you could have fooled me - they were a decidedly listless bunch.
Michael Moore was hopeless (hamstrung now by his support for Kerry I suspect), and found it difficult to get his points across without being shouted down by the audience, many of whom did not want to hear anything that challenged what they have been fed by Fox TV.
His sycophantic comments about the British knowing their history - yeah right! The one that brought/brings civilisation to the rest of the world!
Littlejohn was the usual little US arse-licking creep he always was. I don't know if it was him or Frum that used the old lie that weapons inspectors were kicked out in 1998.
With his "Sunsational" allegations and cheap jibes against the French and the Germans he was playing right into the hands of ignorant Americans.
The Neocon/Republican and BBC favoirite David Frum (ex-speechwriter for GWB... that "axis of evil" goon) was his usual cardboard cutout self and showed he was a stranger to the truth as he always does.
Lida Roderiguez-Taseff, a Civil Liberties Lawyer I believe meandered all over the place although she was the only one with anything useful to say. She was booed.
She said there won't be enough machines on the day in Florida.
It was the usual "probably", "could've been" and "maybe" arguments by the pro-war brigade.
Saddam "could have" had WMD.
Saddam "may have" had links to Al Qaeda.
Saddam "might have" reconstituted his weapons programme.
Saddam`s aunt "might have" had nuts so she "might have" been his uncle.
The fact that overwhelming evidence proves the total opposite to these claims was neither here nor there.
Dimbleby could not control the "mob" in the studio - and coughed most of the time.
A few members of the audience made effective points against the war; but there were rather too many Republican Robots present for them to have an impact - BBC "balance" again! The sound in the studio was badly managed, so many of the questions and comments from the audience were difficult to hear....
Apart from that it was crap!
As for that Israeli-American harridan at the beginning - the time allowed for her to spout all that venomous bile about Arabs as a prelude was unbelievable. How disgusting it was that she was allowed to go totally unchallenged. She needs to spend a couple of days in Palestine to find out just what fine, upstanding gentlemen inhabit the Israeli army.
I have a feeling she might change her tune pretty damn quick.
