The Right to Know offers a special edition at the heart of the forces ready to confront each other at the gates of Baghdad. Aboard the Abraham Lincoln, one of seven nuclear aircraft carriers deployed by the US military in the Persian Gulf, the crew prepares. In particular the elite pilots, the famous "Top Gun", tell about their daily life and their constant training on the ship and in the air. An astonishing document, prepared by Jacques Aragones, shows behind the scenes of the American administration around George Bush. All of the President's closest advisers, such as Vice President Dick Cheney, hold the highest positions in major American oil companies. They form a clan from the same universities and the same economic circles.
Corinne Langlois investigates in Iraq where Saddam Hussein imposes the law of silence. The one who was at the origin of the nationalization of the country's oil fields, became a dictator feared by his entourage and his people. His former mistress helps paint a portrait of the intimate, multi-billionaire man and his appetite for power.
In Baghdad, while the population suffers and remains silent, the oil embargo imposed by the UN is being abused in full view of the International Organization. Céline Hue (author of the report on the women of Kabul), asks the following questions: who benefits from this black market? Why this lack of reaction from the UN?
Documents, some unpublished in France, which allow us to better understand the issues and forces in the presence of the first major conflict of the 21st century.
