This program focuses on the extraordinary power Wal-Mart has over its suppliers, effectively allowing it to require them to off-shore manufacturing. I found it more balanced and persuasive than the other films out about the company, and it's what convinced me to encourage people to avoid shopping there. It seems like a lot of the other disturbing things about Wal-Mart flow from this strategy and their excessive power in the marketplace.

Bush plot to bomb al-Jazeera is a conspiracy theory, says Blair:

People who have seen the document say the real reason that it is being suppressed by the Government is because it contains a potentially damaging private discussion between the two leaders about the controversial United States attack on the Iraqi city of Fallujah last year.
