Subject: Ike also warns about the rule of experts....
NB: This speech is only in part about a military-industrial complex. It also warns with about equal time and space against the idea of technocracy and rule by expertise of scientists and academics.

Subject: Video available
There is video of this speech, it was used in the movie "Why We Fight" out now in theaters. Very forward-thinking speech by Ike on the Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex. A warning we should have heeded 40 years ago. I believe the term "Military-Industrial Complex" first was introduced to the American public with this speech, very important historical moment. (The original speech as written used the term "Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex" but it was edited out of the speech as Eisenhower gave it.
Would be very nice to view a _video_ of the _complete_ speech if it could be obtained.

Subject: Incomplete, abridged version
Unfortunately, the audio files offered here of this important Farewell speech by Eisenhower has been edited from its original. Call me a completist, but just fyi, the original was 15:38, this file is 9:55. For that reason I am giving it a 4 star rating. I found the speech in its entirety at http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/dwightdeisenhowerfarewell.html albeit at a lower resolution.
