This is truly amazing reporting from a very dangerous situation. A film crew from UK’s Channel Four was threatened with execution while filming the Taliban burning a school accused of teaching Western ideology.
It seems that the camera man is on his knees as members of the Taliban threaten the lives of the film crew. Before the matter is resolved, machine gun fire is heard and the Taliban men scramble for cover. Pakistani special police are seen running into the frame shooting wildly into the air.
As the Taliban disappear, the Pakistani police begin beating the film crew. The producer falls to the ground and he is repeatedly hit with an assault riffle. The police are clearly not trained well. Apparently, all of the Taliban were able to escape this encounter.
President Bush visited Afghanistan earlier this week and trumpeted success of the war. Facts on the ground call Mr. Bush’s claims into question.
Facts in the air and everywhere else also call the prez and his words into question.
I heard of the suicide bomber killing our official in Pakistan yesterday. That’s awful, but..
The good news is that Bush said he is still going there!
To quote our fearless leader, "Bring it on!"
Jesus God. Hideous. How fitting that this should correspond with bush’s visit.
Some are trying to spread the truth through art…Tim Robbins has a new play based on Orwell’s 1984:

The mountain of evidence of neocon failure keeps getting bigger.
If only American MSM would be so courageous as to actually report this kind of incident…
But then again, so many journalists are losing their lives in the middle east — maybe the brave ones are the dead ones.
Anyone realize Bush’s game is no longer a game? There’s American troops dying for his lies. 7,000 death squad executions. We’re in deep trouble. Something better be done, fast. It’s out of control.
We’re in deep, deep shit.
A frightening tape. Just what the hell do we have to show for our efforts in Afghanistan? The warlords and Taliban have grabbed control of most of the country again, with the only safe place being Kabul.
Under the cruel rule of the Taliban, the mullahs snuffed out the opium trade, but now the warlords have turned the entire country into a giant narco-state with the Taliban now engaging in the production.
It seem everything Bush touches turns to merda…
Frightening tape indeed,… this video portends – the current direction of those who are in control of our government,…. what you see in this video is likely what we will inevitably become. In fighting between religious fundamentalists and the secular
folks who pursue higher levels of education and
advanced learning’s and sciences – to expand upon the human potentials. One group tugs to the right,.. the other group to the left. One group wants that
society lives in a perfect yesterday with strict
religious/regressive overtones,… the other group
is far more progressive where all are permitted
and encouraged to live and let live,… with the freedom to roam and explore what life and the world has to offer.
Divergent groups of unlike thoughts,… explosive conflicts,…. too much dogma and indoctrination,… an endless clash of the titans. America retraces footprints in this same direction – this video may
mirror our tomorrows. A divine evolution or or divine intervention seems not to be on our horizon either.
Afghanistan is a "catastrophic success" for the heroin market, the terrorist market, and the shit for brains market.
The fact is that the republicans can campaign very well but they govern like the Taliban in many ways.
re: The Ultimate Irreverence
First he was aligning (and thus analogizing) himself to M. Luther King; now it’s the ultimate act of desecreation by posturing himself at the grave site of a truly peaceful individual, Ghandi. This reeks so obviously of a PR piece that it is almost comical (a self-professed "War president" posing alongside the Great Peacemaker – attempting to make a connection in people’s minds. Try again war man! People are getting smarter than you think as the poll numbers indicate. The measure of a man is his ability to admit his human errors and to seek atonement (at-one-ment) which he will never do. His beligerance is only trumped by his ignorance and total lack of spirituality.
Smells loke a propaganda film to me? :O
What is,.. often is not what is….
bush co. often hides behind an agenda,…
that agenda is likely at our peril.
Islamic Fundamentalism = Taliban
American Fundamentalism = "Reconstructionism" &
"Dominionist Theocracies" = religious fascism.

Those are American/British trained AFGHAN police in the video, NOT Pakistani police…how such a mistake could have been made after watching the video is peculiar…beyond that its an incredibly stunning piece…
