Channel 4 was criticised last night over a "docudrama" that shows George W Bush becoming the fifth President of the United States to die at the hands of an assassin.
Leaving a hotel in Chicago after speaking to a meeting of business leaders, President Bush is confronted by anti-war demonstrators and in the confusion is gunned down by a sniper.
The resulting hysteria is inflamed when it emerges that the chief suspect, Jamal Abu Zikri, was born in Syria.

wow - thanks for the info..i'm gonna follow the link right now!
just hoping that it would have been baby bush and his rt hand jerk vp....
Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth heard 'round the globe on this documentary. Sure it's controversial, but they certainly have every right to show this film.
AZGoddess: Pretty wild isn't it? Wouldn't you like to see this film?
Clearly, someone of a taboo. None of us would like to see our president, even if he's a moron, be assassinated. The thought is frightening. That means Dick Cheney would be president. That is the definition of out of the frying pan into the fire.
Where's the Outrage?
Thanks for stopping by, EC.
I don't want to see Bush get assasinated either. As someone who lived through the days of the Kennedy assasination (I was 11), this photo startled me, quite frankly. The documentary brings it home to me just how hated we are in the world by realizing there is this possibility.
I'm sitting here reading blogs, waiting for Bill Maher's show on HBO. Then I'm going out to see what I can get into. 8D
