Another ambitions episode of the show. The big report here was the Armenian Genocide done by Turkey during the early 1900s. The genocide has been well documented many times throughout history, so it's surprising and not so many that you have a lot of Turkish lowlifes denying that it took place the same way you have a lot of lowlife German lowlife denying that the holocaust took place.
I mean first is the stain and embarrassment for your country that you committed the genocide then more importantly is the legality of the matter where if the government recognized it, they might have to make reparations for the genocide.
It's not surprising then that the Turks don't want to admit anything it's pitiful. Equally pitiful is the American government's compliance with the Turks that the genocide never took place.
They did a great job here saying what that is so, Turkey is a military and economical power for the US, so of course it doesn't matter if the country committed numerous atrocities if they have an economical agenda with the US. The Turkish lowlife they interviewed is so open about that it's funny and pathetic. Gee I wonder why other countries have such a low opinion of the US?
The report about Chinese espionage was equally interesting though not as compelling as the Genocide report.
The Hurt Locker report was also interesting but again, the Armenian Genocide segment was the best report here and really one that they did well and deserves to be looked at.moreless
