13. the Fifth Estate will tackle subjects that the US media won't touch
with a 10 foot pole, they are excellent. I watched the one on the Patriot Missile and it's total failure, it, too, was excellent. From their archives:

April 2, 2003
THE CAN'T MISS MISSILE
It was touted as the best defence money could buy against Iraqi Scuds and other deadly missiles. But as the fifth estate's Bob McKeown demonstrated on our February 5 programme, the Patriot missile turned out to be a bust in 1991. And now in the early days of the war in Iraq, it seems as if the Patriot has revealed one more fatal shortcoming. It is having trouble telling the difference between friend and foe. A whole new take on a cautionary tale about military hardware and military obfuscation.
