It was when Carnaby produced a CIA "badge" that Carnaby now had less than an hour to live, that he would wind up dead along the side of the road near the Galleria Mall.

Three of these men have been positively identified as senior officers who worked together in 1963 at JMWAVE, the CIA's Miami base for its Secret War on Castro. David Morales was Chief of Operations and once told friends: "I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard." Gordon Campbell was Chief of Maritime Operations and George Joannides was Chief of Psychological Warfare Operations. Joannides was called out of retirement in 1978 to act as the CIA liaison to the Congressional investigation into the JFK assassin

Just three years old, high school-noir got its start with Rian Johnson's Brick (released in 2006 after being picked up at the Sundance Film Festival a year earlier). Set in a Northern California high school and centered on the investigation of missing student by her former boyfriend, a detective of sorts, and featuring hyper-stylized dialogue and impressive visual design and cinematography, Brick was a noir fan's dream (other film fans were probably not as impressed). The Assassination of a High School President takes a similar premise (minus the hyper-stylized dialogue), borrows classic noir elements (e.g., the detective, the femme fatale, moral ambiguity, corruption, double- and triple crosses), and combines them with teen genre elements to create a wholly satisfying, enthralling high s

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" delves into the private life and public exploits of America's most notorious outlaw. As the charismatic and unpredictable Jesse James (Brad Pitt) plans his next great robbery, he wages war on his enemies, who are trying to collect the reward money – and the glory – riding on his capture. But the greatest threat to his life may ultimately come from those he trusts the most.Genre: Biography / Crime / Drama / Western Actors: Brad Pitt, Mary-Louise Parker, Brooklynn Proulx, Dustin BollingerReviews:IMDbHomepageTrailer: Torrent: Get it HereDutch Subtitles: Get It Here (not tested)
Here it is, the best film of 2007, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. It is really probably the best and most fulfilling film of 2007, that, if you have not already seen it, you will be seeing this year, 2008 that is. Based on the novel by Ron Hansen the film itself reads, or in this case watches, like a novel. Not only because of its use of a voice-over narrator, but also because of its very slow pace. Almost as if director Andrew Dominik wants you to describe every little detail, becoming yourself a novelist, the story comes to literally unfold before your eyes. The cinematography is amazing with the camera slowly tracking to lead the audience into the landscape. While actors are seen playing their parts, the background filled with beautiful mountains call you fr

No, thesunroof killed her! Yes, you read correctly. Bhutto, as you allknow by now, was waving and saluting her adoring public as she stood in the open sunroof of her vehicle. When thedeadly commotion started, she quickly tried to re-enter hervehicle (according to the government version), and in doingso, hit the lever of the sunroof with the back of her head,fracturing it and causing the
It did not take long for blogs and online comment forums to erupt with reaction to the attack on Benazir Bhutto at a rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Ms. Bhutto died in the attack, either of gunshot wounds or injuries from a suicide bombing or both, and more than 20 others at the scene were also killed. Though there have been a number of attacks on Ms. Bhutto’s life in recent months, along with other political violence in the country, and she has said often that her life was in danger, the common initial reaction to the assassination is naturally one of shock. On the All Things Pakistan blog, Adil Najam writes: I, like most Pakistanis, am still too numb with shock and grief to think coherently about what has happened or what the implications of this are for the country and for the wo

How is it possible for the NDP, a party of such zealous political self-righteousness, to engage so fervently in so sordid a campaign of character assassination? One of the many ironies of politics is that there is little more ethically corrosive than the ideological certainty of virtue. It was because Robespierre The Incorruptible was utterly convinced of the morality of his position that he was able to sanction the immorality of the Reign of Terror. It is because the NDP believes that it holds a monopoly on the interests of The People that it is able to casually sanction the destruction of innocent people.

I do not profess to be a historian nor am I a political activist. Yet November 22, yesterday, came and passed as our Thanksgiving Day celebration. Nowhere and I mean nowhere in mainstream media, print or television, was there a mention that November 22, 2007 marks the 44 year anniversary of the assasination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy our country’s greatest hope for justice and peace.
Yes 44 years is not a round number or one that we traditionally celebrate or mourn an anniversary in this country. But it is very significant that we continue to pretend that the assassination of one of this country’s greatest statesman was nothing more than a single act carried out by a lone gunman bent on taking political Cold War action for his beloved Cuba.
The proof that this was a coup led by our government to silence JFK permanently is everywhere-except in our mainstream media. Without listing the facts regarding the trajectory of a bullet, the lack of a standard operati
