To all who are interested,

I just received a mail from NHK regarding the re-broadcasting of an interesting program tonight at 12:15. The program was originally broadcast on Dec 24th.

It is called ?u紛争ビジネス?@?`知られざる民間軍事会社?`?v (http://www.nhk.or.jp/special/libraly/02/l0012/l1221.html)(Conflict Business: The Unknown World of Private Military Corporations).

The show features such famous companies as EO and MPRI.

Maybe tomorrow we can have viewer comments?

PS, the show is in Japanese.

Nobody else watch it?

Some comments:

1) Those EO guys in Angola were seriously scruffy looking.

2) I can't believe Jack Straw is all for mercs.

3) The final interview with the MPRI boss made him look pretty evil.

All in all in interesting show. Although, I would have also like to see something about Sandlines.

Anyone else?
