Our local PBS station, KLRU, chose to air the Frontline two-part program, Bush's War, at 11:00 pm on both nights this March (the program will air tonight, March 24th, and Tuesday, March 25th).

On the five-year anniversary of this brutal war, burying the program in a late-night timeslot is extremely disappointing. If you find this action problematic, I encourage you to email the station manager at bill@klru.org.

I appreciate the programming KLRU provides, especially Frontline documentaries, but this was a poor decision by station management.
