TV VIEWING ASSIGNMENT

FRONTLINE: Beyond Baghdad

"As Washington continues to celebrate the capture of Saddam Hussein, FRONTLINE takes viewers on a journey across Iraq to reveal just what it will take to stabilize the volatile nation and accelerate the transfer of power to the Iraqi people. In "Beyond Baghdad," FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith travels the length and breadth of Iraq for five weeks, interviewing everyone from tribal sheiks and ayatollahs to politicians and U.S. military commanders. Smith's reporting reveals a seriously fractured Iraq, where modest successes in nation-building have been offset by widespread inter-ethnic and sectarian rivalry, frustration, and violence."

FRONTLINE is one of the very few reasons I broke my 'television fast.' I still only watch PBS, and my local ABC affiliate. I can't justify getting cable. My SO may overrule me shortly. Stay tuned!
