Insomniacs against the war

Watching bbc world at 4.30 last night i caught a "hard talk" iterview of on eof the Iraqi human shields (o'keefe i think)

The activist was good at arguing his case and throughout the 25 min interviews managed to avoid the many personal digs that the researchers had found to try and muddy his opinions. It actually showed well, the way the media work, trying to divert attention when he was going well, and getting personal when they were losing the argument. So if there are other insomniacs out there they often repeat these interviews on News 24 and BBC world

i am a fellow insomniac and i also saw it last night....the guy (o'keefe), was very honest and passionate about the fight to stop this war and the fact that he believed in human rights for all citizens of this world, not just for those of "white people". I have seen alot of these hard talks with sebastian and for once he seemed rattled in responding to what o'keefe had to say about american war crimes , and resorted to personal attacks on o'keefe on when he was in the armed forces.

Please keep me posted if there are any other late night discussions, debates or programs which you think are interesting to watch.


on another point, there is a Palestinian film out in the UK called "divine intervention" which i recommed you all to see..
