The Knight Report: The Iraqi resistance follows up Wednesday's
record attacks with the assassination of a general and a police
commander as well as a traffic jam of car bombs; the US invasion
of western Iraq continues with high casualties near the Syrian
border; and the death toll continues to rise as Afghan protests
spread like wildfire over US desecration of the Koran. Robert

John Pilger: Stealing a Nation - This documentary film has
won the Royal Television Society's top award as Britain's
best documentary in 2004-5, and reveals the extraordinary
story of the secret expulsion of the entire population of
the Chagos islands in the Indian Ocean by successive British
governments, so that the principal island, Diego Garcia, could
be handed to the United States as a major military base. It
is from this base that American aircraft have attacked Iraq
and Afghanistan.
