"Others have described ISW as "a hawkish Washington" group[1] favoring an "aggressive foreign policy".[2] It has produced reports on the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War, "focusing on military operations, enemy threats, and political trends in diverse conflict zones".[3] The non-profit organization is supported by grants and contributions from large defense contractors,[2]including Raytheon, General Dynamics, DynCorp and others."

OK.

Have you seen "A Very Heavy Agenda" by Robbie Martin, brother of Abby Martin?

Wikipedia's perpetual censorship: The Media Roots section and Robbie Martin subsection are vastly different, thus scrubbing Robbie Martin off Wikipedia entirely. An inconvenient truther.

I've considered saving up to buy a DVD box set of "A Very Heavy Agenda" to scan and rip to pirate share - in part because I've benefited from others doing the same so I can "give back", in part because I want to see it that bad, and in part because it's so important it should be free, and in part because I want to support Robbie.

Same with Ryan Dawson, but he got kicked off Vimeo this fall, so I don't know where to buy/pirate his documentaries. I thought Vimeo was neutral until that happened.

I haven't seen them. That's partly why I want to buy or pirate them.
