In honour of Guantanamo Bay's sixth birthday (Happy Birthday GB!!) I've found a documentary that I am sure will serve as educational and interesting. Also this post comes day a few ex-detainees failed to sue Rumsfeld.

Guantanamo Bay is an interesting place, it's been under control by the USA thanks to a old treaties dating back to the Spanish/American war, The USA pays Castro roughly $4,000 a year to lease Guantanamo bay. Castro however has never cashed a single check because America has broken the treaty in so many ways Cuba now calls America's use of Guantanamo Bay an "Occupation."

Most recently, when posting the Theory of Evolution video, I knew the comments would descend into chaos. You have you read the religious comment threads Dinesh gets and understand the fundamentalist commentators will most likely spill over onto any video I post about science or religion.

Regular Newsblogger Steve posted an excellent comment in that Theory of Evolution thread, and it reminded me of the documentary Journey of Man. There are so many interesting and fascinating things you can learn once step out of the dark ages, start off by watching this Spencer Wells Documentary.
