Hadn't seen this documentary posted. Interesting back story across Bush and Obama administrations regarding Iran.

It runs just under 1hr 54m. Unaware of any restrictions since it is available for free on youtube.


TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; Government; News/Current Events

It’s a computer term.

It refers to viruses yet unreleased.

Viruses against which defenses have been coded for for, say, 30 days are comparitively unthreatening.

Viruses to which your computers have been exposed for ZERO days are substantially scarier.

For a short time you are totally defenseless.

The book was better. The documentary leaves out quite a bit of detail.

Saw it 50 years ago as a 10 year old. Had an effect on me. Watched it last night again on TCM. Movie has held up well.
