RetroVision Theater Presents Peter Gunn in Lets Kill Timothy
The title character (played by Craig Stevens) is a private investigator in the classic film noir tradition, which was a popular genre on American TV in the late 1950s. However, a few traits differentiate him from the standard hard-boiled detectives, such as Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe. Gunn was a sophisticated "hipster", a dapper dresser who loved cool jazz; where other gumshoes were often coarse, Peter Gunn was portrayed as the epitome of "cool". He operated in a nameless waterfront city, and was a regular patron of Mother's, a wharfside Jazz club; his girlfriend, Edie Hart (Lola Albright), was a sultry singer employed there. Herschel Bernardi played Lieutenant Jacoby, a police detective. Enjoy the program and as always, share the file with a friend.

Issues Under Fire: What to Do About Qum Site
President Barack Obama nearly ran the table last week, as he stood beforeIssues Under Fire: US Military Publicly Prodding Obama
The military has gone on the offensive against the White House by publicly calling for an urgent troop build up in Afghanistan, while President Obama clearly wants to consider less costly and dramatic options. With leaked reports to the Washington Post indicating the need for an additional 40 thousand troops within 12 months and General McChrystal’s appearance on 60 Minutes this Sunday past, it seems the president is being placed in a position of either crap or get off the pot. Even though the president may have contributed to this most difficult dilemma, he does have a few credible cards to play should he decide to pull back.
Today, we discuss throwing the corrupt Hamid Karzai and his alleged drug dealing brother Ahmed Wali over the side. We consider the fact that Afghanistan’s extremely fractured, tribal,regional warlord led country will never be accepting of a centralized government. We ponder the fact that Karzai had to steal an election to remain in power with the vast majority of Afghans not recognizing his authority. With all of the aforementioned being easily verifiable, a much stronger case can be made for Sen. Carl Levin’s approach. Click here to download the podcast

A definitive account of the American experience in Afghanistan from the rise of the Taliban to the depths of the insurgency. After the swift defeat of the Taliban in 2001, American optimism has steadily evaporated in the face of mounting violence; a new “war of a thousand cuts” has now brought the country to its knees. In the Graveyard of Empiresis a political history of Afghanistan in the “Age of Terror” from 2001 to 2009, exploring the fundamental tragedy of America’s longest war since Vietnam.After a brief survey of the great empires in Afghanistan—the campaigns of Alexander the Great, the British in the era of Kipling, and the late Soviet Union—Seth G. Jones examines the central question of our own war: how did an insurgency develop? Following the September 11 attacks, the United States successfully overthrew the Taliban regime. It established security throughout the country—killing, capturing, or scattering most of al Qa’ida’s senior operatives—and Afghanistan finally began to emerge from more than two decades of struggle and conflict. But Jones argues that as early as 2001 planning for the Iraq War siphoned off resources and talented personnel, undermining the gains that had been made. After eight years, he says, the United States has managed to push al Qa’ida’s headquarters about one hundred miles across the border into Pakistan, the distance from New York to Philadelphia.
While observing the tense and often adversarial relationship between NATO allies in the Coalition, Jones—who has distinguished himself at RAND and was recently named by
Esquire as one of the “Best and Brightest” young policy experts—introduces us to key figures on both sides of the war. Harnessing important new research and integrating thousands of declassified government documents, Jones then analyzes the insurgency from a historical and structural point of view, showing how a rising drug trade, poor security forces, and pervasive corruption undermined the Karzai government, while Americans abandoned a successful strategy, failed to provide the necessary support, and allowed a growing sanctuary for insurgents in Pakistan to catalyze the Taliban resurgence.Examining what has worked thus far—and what has not—this serious and important book underscores the challenges we face in stabilizing the country and explains where we went wrong and what we must do if the United States is to avoid the disastrous fate that has befallen many of the great world powers to enter the region. 12 maps and charts.
