Here's another, from a Quaker group:
http://www.afsc.org/nero/bigcat/camblao.htm
Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia 1979 60 mins. The incredible
story of the Khmer
Rouge genocide in Cambodia from 1975-1978 that includes important
historical footage on how
the Khmer Rouge came to power in the first place. Documents the
beginnings of U.S. help to the
Khmer Rouge in 1979 and the manipulation of the international aid
program as key elements of
the U.S. policy to overthrow Cambodia's new government.
Guns, Drugs and the CIA 1988 60 mins. A probing expose by PBS on how the
CIA has used
drug lords and drug money to fight secret wars around the world for the
past forty years. Shows
that these same drug dealers have used the CIA's money, equipment and
protection to increase
the flow of illegal narcotics. Focuses on two of the CIA's largest
covert operations: the secret
war in Laos (1960 - 1973) and the Contra War in Nicaragua. Interviews
and shocking footage
document this whole story that has been hidden from the U. S. public.
Highlights the hypocrisy
of proclaiming a domestic "war on drugs" while the U. S. government aids
and abets drug
running. (The real jewel here is the documentation of George Bush's
connection to it all, using
some of the same witnesses Bush uses to prosecute Noriega!)
etc etc
It could all be wild fantasy, of course.
