Just found a great new show on FSTV - Fault Lines from Al Jazeera featuring Avi Lewis!

[cascadiance]

Naomi Klein's husband... Both she and Avi Lewis were the earlier creators of that great documentary on Argentina called "The Take" talking about workers retaking over factories down there.

The first episode that aired earlier today at 3:00 PM really went in depth on torture issues, rendition practices, as well as the bad usage of State Secrets privilege...

It appeared on the online schedule on FSTV as Hippy Gourmet instead of what it was actually known as, so I'm guessing not many people have seen it yet.

Here's the Al Jazeera page that describes it:

1. Thanks. Here's a link to the online video of the show:

Not a direct link, but to the Al Jazeera "Fault Lines" page that now hosts two episodes.

I haven't yet watched, but it sounds excellent. It seems from the FSTV schedule to air there on Tues and Thurs at 3PM Pacific on a biweekly schedule. For those with FSTV, we should set our timers, but for most, the video on Al Jazeera is the easiest option.

And for those who won't watch Al Jazeera because they don't represent the interests of multinational corporatism, willful ignorance is another way to describe that decision.
