Blackwater Killing Spree in Iraq

Holy fuck. This is one of the most disturbing videos to come out of the Iraq War.

It is a trophy video made by employees of Aegis Security Service, a British Blackwater contractor working in Iraq, and it is allegedly one of four such videos. They recorded themselves on a killing spree, driving down the highway in Iraq and randomly shooting at innocent Iraq civilians for sport, and then set it to the music of Elvis. Sick. Truly and heinously sick.

When you watch this, remember that the Bush administration gave Blackwater a no-bid contract, of $600 a day per mercenary, for their work in Iraq and Paul Bremer, Bush's original viceroy to Iraq, granted them all immunity. The Iraqi government has asked them to leave because of their lawless behavior, but Bush has ignored the request and reinstated them. Blackwater is Bush's secret army, accountable to no law, no justice, no authority. All of this is Bush's responsibility.

It's Every Cuss Word We Know

Video Response to Osama

I have a weakness for swearing Brits. They make it all sound so civilized...

Anyway, this is a response from Pat Condell of London to Osama's latest 9/11 tape (you know, the one where he was rockin' the Just For Men), in which he invited Westerners to join his special brand of radical Islam. It's scathing and bitchy and all kinds of lovely.

Monty Python on Public TV

This is a clip from an in-studio appearance for local PBS affiliate KERA-TV in Dallas, Texas in 1975. Apparently, KERA was the first station in the US to broadcast Monty Python's Flying Circus, after an executive pulled the show from a box of rejected British television programs. This appearance on the station's pledge drive, however, has not been aired since it was broadcast live, and only a portion of it has survived the last 32 years. It is an extremely rare interview and was shot just after Monty Python and the Holy Grail had wrapped production.

Bust My Ass

Since this whole "war on terror" began, Americans have seen a marked spike in arrests for protesting, displaying anti-war slogans and voicing their opinions in public forums. Well, turns out the same thing is going on in Great Britain.

This BBC film takes a humorous look at the erosion of free speech rights and the government's use of terrorism legislation against its own citizens. Think we don't live in a police state? Think again.
