DOCUMENTARY: Body of War

Phil Donahue is getting in the last word.

One of the first television personalities to speak out against America's hapless adventure in Iraq, Donahue was also among the war's earliest media casualties. He lost his MSNBC talk show back in 2003 when, according to an internal memo, his bosses had begun worrying that he would turn his show into "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."

Donahue took his sacking with grace and, for all appearances, vanished from view.

But not for long. Last month, Donahue showed up at the Toronto International Film Festival with a new documentary, Body of War, a searing chronicle of an American soldier gravely wounded in Baghdad, and his tortured physical and emotional struggle to find place of comfort back home.
