Those of you who have Netflix online:: You need to check out Life on Mars. Cancelled after one season I'll put it up against firefly. Not better not the same but it's own world of "please give me more". Harvey Keitel if you need talent cred. It is so damn good.

Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s, and he is not a “suspect” but uncontroversially the “decider” who gave the orders to commit the “supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole” (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged. > > In fact, as Prof Chomsky sees it, in at least one respect we’re worse than the Nazis: > > Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that they are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous resistance against genocidal invaders. It’s like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It’s as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes “Jew” and “Gypsy.” > > Hey, don’t forget the “Gay” Focke.
