Today in Lebanon we continue our chat with our buddy Ahmed. It's kind of a bummer that someone so cool has to be caught up in such an ugly scene, but also sort of relieving to know that there are decent and caring minds behind the creepy PLO and Hezbollah masks (or some of them at least). In Israel we get another eyeful of suicide bomber recruitment videos from the archives of Palestinian Media Watch. If you're in search of something a bit lighter, we've got our third installment of Hi Shredability, with guest Dan Malloy, and another episode of Soft Focus with Cat Power as we gear up for season two in October.
