Family videos are odd objects. You can sit around all together and for a few hours relive your life. Family videos are valuable. The older the videos are, the more valuable they become for us. Especially for those of us who have had complicated lives.

A chronicle which provides a rare window into the international perception of the Iraq War, courtesy of Al Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular news outlet. Roundly criticized by Cabinet members and Pentagon officials for reporting with a pro-Iraqi bias, and strongly condemned for frequently airing civilian causalities as well as footage of American POWs, the station has revealed (and continues to show the world) everything about the Iraq War that the Bush administration did not want it to see.
