Every day, Canadian soldiers on the ground confront the chaos and violence of life "outside the wire". They don’t have the big picture; they’re not interested in the policy. They’re just trying to help the people, protect each other...and survive. Afghanada gives us a grunts’-eye-view of the conflict . The sound is edgy and gritty, the impact immediate, pushing the listener into an auditory journey that is impossible to escape. It is a reflection of the very real situation Canadian soldiers are facing every day in Afghanistan. ---- The Afghanada cast includes Billy MacLellan as Private Lucas "Chucky" Manson, Jenny Young as Sergeant Pat "Coach" Kinsella, Paul Fauteux as Private Dean "The Machine" Donaldson, Jordan Pettle as Corporal Jakes, Anousha Alamian as Sami and Khan Soroor. ---- Episode 01: The series begins with five Canadian soldiers and a translator traveling from Kandahar to a local village to establish contact and deliver supplies to a school. Following a successful meeting with village elders, (a shura,) they proceed to the school but are intercepted by the Taliban. One member of the unit disappears. Episode 02: The Sergeant is missing in action. Master Corporal Pat Kinsella, a female combat soldier, is made temporary section commander. The section is ordered back to base. On the way back, they are marooned in the desert when their Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) falls into a dry river bed during a sandstorm. They make a surprise discovery in a cave in a mountainside following a strange encounter with a lone American soldier. Episode 03: While returning to base from a medical mission, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explodes, disabling their LAV. The section comes under attack when an attempt to borrow a tractor from a local farmer goes sideways. They are rescued by American firepower. Episode 04: Assigned to American command, the section is tasked with hunting for suicide bomb factories in Kandahar. Following a raid on an Afghan family, (who could be suicide bombers), the unit comes to a mosque and meets a rogue American unit which they suspect is involved in shady operations. They must decide whether to blow the whistle or not. Episode 05: Prior to a major offensive, Kinsella is replaced as temporary section commander by Master Corporal Jakes from the Provincial Reconstruction Team. He must gain the trust of the unit in the midst of battle. His lack of experience under fire highlights the consequences of his decisions for the unit. Episode 06: Engaged in the NATO offensive against the Taliban, the unit encounters a small group of Afghan National Police (ANP) doing their best to keep law and order without equipment or supplies. Their attempt to aid the ANP by destroying some Taliban weapons caches embroils them in local tribal politics and worsens the local situation. Episode 07: The section is assigned with providing security on a Village Medical Outreach (VMO). The goal is to improve conditions in rural areas and gain the support of the local Afghan population. They run afoul of Islamic law while attempting to save a teenage girl who has a fatal infection. Episode 08: Christmas at Kandahar Airfield looks better than being stuck at an abandoned American firebase in the mountains on the Pakistan border. In the valley below is a madrassa, that doubles as a Taliban training base. While waiting for a possible attack, Private Donaldson struggles with the psychological effects of killing an enemy fighter. Episode 09: The Section splits up for the first time in months to take a few days leave. Dean and Lucas fly out to blow off steam in Bangkok and Sergeant Kinsella heads home to Prince Rupert to see her parents and her boyfriend. The boys have a great time sampling many delights forbidden on the job in Afghanistan. Kinsella on the other hand finds re-integration into civilian life a complicated experience. Episode 10: Outside the wire once again, the Section heads out on a clandestine operation to find and destroy a Taliban command post. This time they have a new interpreter recruited from a local village. When the “terp” begins to consider the risk his family faces from the Taliban now that he is helping the NATO forces, he makes a decision that endangers the Section. Private Manson rushes to his defense even though it means disobeying a senior officer. Episode 11: After barely surviving a river crossing when the bridge collapses under their LAV, the Section finds itself marooned in a remote village. A Canadian aid agency has been hard at work here and the village has been turned into a thriving community, the likes of which they have not seen before. One of the aid workers takes a shine to Dean, but the Taliban are not impressed with the success of this village and things go horribly wrong. Episode 12: A hearts and minds mission to deliver food aid turns into a quest for the elusive Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban. Along the way they encounter a former Russian soldier and a strange group of women farmers. Do they get Omar in the end? Only time will tell. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The album graphics are from another Afghanada encoded at 192 kbps.

NO END IN SIGHT (2007)

Category: Documentary
Description:
NO END IN SIGHT is a documentary film that focuses on the two year period following the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The film asserts that serious mistakes made by the Bush administration during that time were the cause of ensuing problems in Iraq, such as the rise of the insurgency, a lack of security and basic utilities for many Iraqis, sectarian violence and, at one point, the risk of complete civil war. The documentary does initially touch upon other aspects prior to the reconstruction. One mis-assumption that Bush made was that the Shi'ites (forming a 60% majority of the population) would welcome the invaders. This premise seems to arise from the fact that in 1991, after the end of the Persian Gulf War and encouraged by President George H. W. Bush, the Shi'ites rebelled against Saddam Hussein. However, despite heavy losses from the Gulf War, Hussein's remaining forces crushed the rebellion. The US did not offer any support to the rebels at the time, nor did the US stop the Iraqi government troops. Another issue in the 2003 invasion was the number of troops that were to be sent. Donald Rumsfeld estimated that the job would take half of the number of troops that Colin Powell and other US Army Generals had requested, but Rumsfeld essentially had his way as he enjoyed more support within the George W. Bush administration than Powell. NO END IN SIGHT is a 2007 documentary film about the American occupation of Iraq. The film marks the directorial debut of political scientist and former software entrepreneur Charles H. Ferguson. The film premiered January 22, 2007 at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. The film opened in limited release in the United States on July 27, 2007, playing in 2 theaters. As of December 2007, the film had grossed $1.4 million, and had been released on DVD.[ INTERVIEWS To a large extent the film consists of interviews with the people who were involved in the initial Iraqi occupation authority and the ORHA (the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, later replaced by the CPA, the Coalition Provisional Authority). Thirty-five people are interviewed, many of them former Bush loyalists who have since become disillusioned by what they experienced at the time. In particular, many of those interviewed claim that the inexperience of the core members of the Bush administration — and their refusal to seek, acknowledge or accept input from more experienced outsiders — was at the root of the disastrous occupation effort. AMONG THOSE INTERVIEWEDARE: * General Jay Garner, who briefly ran the reconstruction before being replaced by L. Paul Bremer * Ambassador Barbara Bodine, who was placed in charge of the Baghdad embassy * Richard Armitage, former deputy secretary of the State Department * Robert Hutchings, former chairman of the National Intelligence Council * Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former chief of staff * Col. Paul Hughes, who worked in the ORHA and then the CPA * Marc Garlasco THERE WERE THREE ESPECIALLY GRAVE MISTAKES MADE BY PAUL BREMER, THE HEAD OF THE CPA: * A move toward "De-Ba'athification" in the early stages of the occupation, as Bremer considered members disloyal. Saddam Hussein's ruling Ba'ath Party counted as its members a huge majority of Iraq's governmental employees, including educational officials and some teachers, as it was not possible to attain such positions unless one had membership. By order of the CPA, these skilled and often apolitical individuals were banned from holding any positions in Iraq's new government. * Not providing enough troops to maintain order, so martial law was not established after the country was conquered. The ORHA had identified at least 20 crucial government buildings and cultural sites in Bagdad, but ending up only the oil ministry was guarded. With no police force or national army to maintain order, ministries and buildings were looted for their desks, tables, chairs, phones, and computers. Among these pillaged were Iraqi museums, containing priceless artifacts from some of the earliest human civilizations, which No End in Sight suggested had sent chilling signals to the average Iraqi that the American forces did not intend to maintain law and order. The destruction of libraries and records , in combination with the "De-Ba'athification" had ruined the bureaucracy that existed prior to the US invasion. ORHA staff reported that they had to start from scratch to rebuilt the government infrastructure. Rumsfeld initially dismissed the widespread looting as no worse than rioting in a major American city. * The disbanding of the Iraqi Army, against the advice of the US military, which made 500,000 young men unemployed. The US army had wanted the Iraqi troops retained as they knew the locals and could maintain order, but Bremer refused as he felt that they could be disloyal. However, many former Iraqi soldiers then decided that their best chance for a future, many with extended families to support, was to join a militia force. The huge arms depots were available for pillaging by anyone who wanted weapons and explosives, so the former Iraqi soldiers converged on the military stockpiles. The US did known about the location of weapon caches but said that they lacked the troops to secure them; ironically these arms would later be used against the Americans and new Iraqi government forces. The film cites these three mistakes as the primary causes of the rapid deterioration of occupied Iraq into chaos, as the collapse of the government bureaucracy and army resulted in a lack of authority and order. It was the Islamic fundamentalists that moved to fill this void, so their ranks swelled with many disillusioned Iraqi people. The documentary also notes that during reconstruction, the US shunned Ba'ath officials and relied upon Ahmed Chalabi instead, someone who they later realized could not be trusted. Chalabi was said to have taken advantage of US resources to eliminate political opponents. One of these interviewed suggested that the main beneficiary of the Iraq invasion was neighbouring Iran. Prior to the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, Iraq and Iran were enemies and so kept each other in check. Indeed, some suggested that Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction were mainly to intimedate Iran, which explained why Saddam was not forthcoming with UN inspectors. Saddam's fall left Iran more powerful in the region. It also did not help that they elected a hardliner who was anti-Western, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who went on to allegedly produce their own weapons of mass destruction. TOP TEN LISTS This film appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007. * 1st - Stephen Hunter, The Washington Post * 3rd - Ty Burr, The Boston Globe * 5th - A.O.

PBS American Experience - Eyes on the Prize: Parts 1-14of14 (TVRip.SoS)

Category: Documentary
Description:
Part of PBS' American Experience, Parts 1-6 were released in 2006 and the other parts in this series were aired in 2-episode installments in February 2008. This torrent includes all 14 parts and the filenames are unchanged from before to make it easier to resume any existing downloads. Note: There are video and audio glitches for the last 15 minutes in Part 7 and video corruptions in the final minute of Part 8. Produced by Blackside, "Eyes on the Prize" tells the definitive story of the civil rights era from the point of view of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary actions launched a movement that changed the fabric of American life, and embodied a struggle whose reverberations continue to be felt today. Winner of numerous Emmy Awards, a George Foster Peabody Award, an International Documentary Award, and a Television Critics Association Award, Eyes on the Prize is the most critically acclaimed documentary on civil rights in America. "Eyes on the Prize" recounts the fight to end decades of discrimination and segregation. It is the story of the people -- young and old, male and female, northern and southern -- who, compelled by a meeting of conscience and circumstance, worked to eradicate a world where whites and blacks could not go to the same school, ride the same bus, vote in the same election, or participate equally in society. It was a world in which peaceful demonstrators were met with resistance and brutality -- in short, a reality that is now nearly incomprehensible to many young Americans. Through contemporary interviews and historical footage, "Eyes on the Prize" traces the civil rights movement from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Voting Rights Act; from early acts of individual courage through the flowering of a mass movement and its eventual split into factions. Julian Bond, political leader and civil rights activist, narrates. Part 1: Awakenings (1954-1956) Individual acts of courage inspire black Southerners to fight for their rights: Mose Wright testifies against the white men who murdered young Emmett Till, and Rosa Parks refuses to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Part 2: Fighting Back (1957-1962) States' rights loyalists and federal authorities collide in the 1957 battle to integrate Little Rock's Central High School, and again in James Meredith's 1962 challenge to segregation at the University of Mississippi. Both times, a Southern governor squares off with a U.S. president, violence erupts -- and integration is carried out. -- Parts 1-2: runtime = 1:50:58, xvid.640x480. 970kbps.mp3.112.vbr, filesize = 850MB -- Part 3: Ain't Scared of Your Jails (1960-1961) Black college students take a leadership role in the civil rights movement as lunch counter sit-ins spread across the South. "Freedom Riders" also try to desegregate interstate buses, but they are brutally attacked as they travel. Part 4: No Easy Walk (1961-1963) The civil rights movement discovers the power of mass demonstrations as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerges as its most visible leader. Some demonstrations succeed; others fail. But the triumphant March on Washington, D.C., under King's leadership, shows a mounting national support for civil rights. President John F. Kennedy proposes the Civil Rights Act. -- Parts 3-4: runtime = 1:51:05, xvid.640x480. 967kbps.mp3.112.vbr, filesize = 850MB -- Part 5: Mississippi: Is This America? (1963-1964) Mississippi's grass-roots civil rights movement becomes an American concern when college students travel south to help register black voters and three activists are murdered. The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party challenges the regular Mississippi delegation at the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City. Part 6: Bridge to Freedom (1965) A decade of lessons is applied in the climactic and bloody march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. A major victory is won when the federal Voting Rights Bill passes, but civil rights leaders know they have new challenges ahead. -- Parts 5-6: runtime = 1:51:36, xvid.640x480. 954kbps.mp3.112.vbr, filesize = 850MB -- Part 7: The Time Has Come (1964-66) After a decade-long cry for justice, a new sound is heard in the civil rights movement: the insistent call for power. Malcolm X takes an eloquent nationalism to urban streets as a younger generation of black leaders listens. In the South, Stokely Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) move from "Freedom Now!" to "Black Power!" as the fabric of the traditional movement changes. -- Part 7: runtime = 0:55:28, xvid.640x480.1119kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 8: Two Societies (1965-68) Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) come north to help Chicago's civil rights leaders in their nonviolent struggle against segregated housing. Their efforts pit them against Chicago's powerful mayor, Richard Daley. When a series of marches through all-white neighborhoods draws violence, King and Daley negotiate with mixed results. In Detroit, a police raid in a black neighborhood sparks an urban uprising that lasts five days, leaving 43 people dead. The Kerner Commission finds that America is becoming "two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal." President Lyndon Johnson, who appointed the commission, ignores the report. -- Part 8: runtime = 0:55:42, xvid.640x480.1124kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 9: Power! (1966-68) The call for Black Power takes various forms across communities in black America. In Cleveland, Carl Stokes wins election as the first black mayor of a major American city. The Black Panther Party, armed with law books, breakfast programs, and guns, is born in Oakland. Substandard teaching practices prompt parents to gain educational control of a Brooklyn school district but then lead them to a showdown with New York City's teachers' union. -- Part 9: runtime = 0:56:12, xvid.640x480.1081kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 10: The Promised Land (1967-68) Martin Luther King stakes out new ground for himself and the rapidly fragmenting civil rights movement. One year before his death, he publicly opposes the war in Vietnam. His Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) embarks on an ambitious Poor People's Campaign. In the midst of political organizing, King detours to support striking sanitation workers in Memphis, where he is assassinated. King's death and the failure of his final campaign mark the end of a major stream of the movement. -- Part 10: runtime = 0:56:05, xvid.640x480.1108kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 11: Ain't Gonna Shuffle No More (1964-72) A call to pride and a renewed push for unity galvanize black America. World heavyweight champion Cassius Clay challenges America to accept him as Muhammad Ali, a minister of Islam who refuses to fight in Vietnam. Students at Howard University in Washington, D.C., fight to bring the growing black consciousness movement and their African heritage inside the walls of this prominent black institution. Black elected officials and community activists organize the National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana, in an attempt to create a unified black response to growing repression against the movement. -- Part 11: runtime = 0:56:06, xvid.640x480.1108kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 12: A Nation of Law? (1968-71) Black activism is increasingly met with a sometimes violent and unethical response from local and federal law enforcement agencies. In Chicago, two Black Panther Party leaders are killed in a pre-dawn raid by police acting on information supplied by an FBI informant. In the wake of President Nixon's call to "law and order," stepped-up arrests push the already poor conditions at New York's Attica State Prison to the limit. A five-day inmate takeover calling the public's attention to the conditions leaves 43 men dead: four killed by inmates, 39 by police. -- Part 12: runtime = 0:56:20, xvid.640x480.1097kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 13: The Keys to the Kingdom (1974-80) In the 1970s, antidiscrimination legal rights gained in past decades by the civil rights movement are put to the test. In Boston, some whites violently resist a federal court school desegregation order. Atlanta's first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, proves that affirmative action can work, but the Bakke Supreme Court case challenges that policy. -- Part 13: runtime = 0:56:03, xvid.640x480.1105kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- Part 14: Back to the Movement (1979-mid 80s) Power and powerlessness. Miami's black community -- pummeled by urban renewal, a lack of jobs, and police harassment -- explodes in rioting. But in Chicago, an unprecedented grassroots movement triumphs. Frustrated by decades of unfulfilled promises made by the city's Democratic political machine, reformers install Harold Washington as Chicago's first black mayor. -- Part 14: runtime = 0:55:48, xvid.640x480.1112kbps.mp3.160.vbr, filesize = 500MB -- more info: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eyesontheprize == If you found this program informative, support the network/series by purchasing their DVDs if available.

Quoting http://www.bbcworld.com/content/template_clickpage.asp?pageid=2644: From the Vietnam War to the invasion of Panama, America’s actions abroad have had a major impact across the globe. For many the U.S. has become a figure of hate – but why? Ben Anderson takes a journey in the footprints of American soldiers and politicians to find answers and perhaps a curtain-raiser to the challenges faced today. 1) Vietnam_first transmission - 4 June 2005 The Americans may no longer be fighting the communists in South East Asia, but the mark they left there is indelible. Ben Anderson travels to Vietnam, where he meets the “Amerasians” – abandoned children of GI’s and Vietnamese women. He also witnesses backyard crocodile farming, meets would-be capitalists and hears from a third generation suffering the effects of Agent Orange. 2) Cambodia_first transmission - 11 June 2005 Cambodia will always be synonymous with Pol Pot and the Killing Fields. Ben Anderson discovers that the country is still ravaged by the effects of war and genocide. Law and order is failing and not a single Khmer Rouge leader has been brought to justice. 3) Nicaragua and Honduras_first transmission - 18 June 2005 The successful left-wing coup in Nicaragua that brought the Marxist Sandinista guerillas to power led to the US sponsoring anti-Sandinista contra-guerrillas throughout much of the 80s. Ben Anderson now finds a democratic Nicaragua where coffee exports are worth millions, but farmers are starving while millions of dollars of cocaine are washed up on the coastline every week. Nobody remembers General Noriega anymore. Why did the U.S. invade to get one man? Honduras was Reagan's base for the Contra war, a C.I.A. funded insurgency that led to the Iraq-Contra scandal. Today the country's trying to crush the street gangs, most of them deportees from the U.S.. Even a tattoo can land you in jail for years. 4) El Salvador and Panama_first transmission - 25 June 2005 A gun-carrying ex-gang leader from Los Angeles is reporter Ben Anderson’s guide through the Central American country of El Salvador which is riven by gang warfare. The war ended over a decade ago and he meets both right-wingers and leftist guerrillas to hear what peace has brought to the country. When he visits the resort island of Panama, chemical weapons await him. Whose are they?
