Instead of yapping on about borders you might take Tim's post as a serious heads up and have a look at the 2 hour presentation Sunday evening. I saw the hour version, rarely for me to waste my time watching war stuff at anytime let alone for an hour. But in this case I was hooked by the compelling behind the scenes look through those who were on the ground real time. Unedited! Lots of in your face "live-dead" material and direct comments by still's & TV photojournalists also reporters. An excellent documentary of material we didn't see and maybe a bit of an eye opener for those of you who've never been on the ground on a reporting - photo assignment. It also shows cameras and reporting aren't a shield anytime! :-( ted >> okay I live way south of the canadian border (unfortunately) and despite wishing canada will attack the US because of our weapons of mass destruction and take over northern california so we become part of canada, it hasn't happened yet, so, how do I get to see this program?
