HUMAN RIGHTS
Will another war make a difference for the people of Iraq? And if it happens, what role will the new International Criminal Court (ICC) play? Barbara Nimri Aziz talks to Iraq citizens, and Sam Cacas looks at how the Bush administration is pressing for impunity from ICC prosecution. Plus, a trip to Zapatista country exposes a new neo-liberal scheme, and Free Speech TV that nudges viewers off the couch.
