Bush´s Private Army

Blackwater: The Shadow Army

Coming to a city near you?

Produced by the US magazine The Nation.

No one knows for sure, but it's believed that as much as 40% of the military budget goes to private contractors including private armies.

There are thousands of private mercenaries operating on behalf of the US in Iraq and elsewhere around the world. Nearly 1,000 have been killed in Iraq alone, but their casualties are not counted. Nor has Congress been able to discover exactly how many mercenaries the US employs there.

One of these firms, Blackwater USA, a big supporter of George Bush, is now deploying in the US. They were present in New Orleans after the levee collapses.

Sands of Sorrow - 1950

The reality of Palestinian-Israeli History

A people made homeless (1950)

There is an astonishing amount of ignorance about the basic facts of the so-called Arab-Israeli conflict.

This footage was shot in the late 1940s to educate the public about the plight of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who had been made homeless as a result of the violence and intimidation that accompanied the founding of the state of Israel.

What most Palestinians thought would be a temporary dislocation lasting only a few weeks at most became permanent. Homeless with just the clothes on their backs, they were left in the desert without food, water, and medical care to die.

Tryckt stämning efter Karlssons avstängning

Många anställda på räddningstjänsten i Falkenberg mår dåligt över att deras arbetskamrat Jerry Karlsson stängts av från jobbet. - Det här handlar om att vi på brandstationen ska vara tysta. Ledningen vill stämma i bäcken, säger Mikael Svensson, ordförande för de Kommunalanslutna brandmännen.

The world, the brain

What it's like to have a stroke

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.

As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

HÖGERIDEOLOGIN RASAR SAMMAN

Globaliseringen har visat sig betyda att när ett land vacklar drar det resten av världen med sig i fallet. Hur ska högern hantera sin besvikelse, genom att låtsas som om inget har hänt? skriver MARIA-PIA BOËTHIUS.
