The Power of Nightmares, free, high quality, legal download of a well done BBC documentary about the origins of both Islamic terrorism and the American neoconservatism - turns out they both come out of the same place. From the BBC summary:

In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares.

The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media.

I've seen it and highly recommend it if you're interested in politics, current, events, and/or history. I would hope that someone like PBS or BBC America would pick this up, because watching at your computer screen isn't exactly comfortable, no matter how high-definition the file :P

Seriously - worth seeing. Five stars, A++, etc.

P.S. No, I still don't have a good "politics" icon.
