Storyline: Following
the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller
and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass
destruction, whose existence justified American involvement, according
to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad, Poundstone. Veteran CIA
operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons, it is a
deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a
puppet leader. Also suspicious of Poundstone is Wall Street Journal
reporter Lawrie Dayne, who lets slip to Miller that Poundstone told her
he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi, code-named
Magellan, who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely
Magellan’s true information was to the contrary. So begins a hunt for
the truth. Who’s playing whom?
