Video Report: "America's Secret War".
This is a fascinating video, and a piece of classic on-site investigative journalism that's becoming increasingly rare in this day. Mariana van Zeller traveled to a war zone on the border of Turkey, Iraq and Iran, to investigate reports that the U.S. is funding anti-Iran terrorists, effectively engaging in a proxy war with Iran.
I don't think they actually gave good evidence that the U.S. is involved with these groups, but the opportunity to get a look at a guerrilla/terrorist group, one which has a large female contingent, is fascinating. It's a look at a part of the world and a conflict we see very little of in the U.S.
