You Won't See This on The Tony Danza Show

There's a new reality TV series that's sweeping Baghdad: "Terrorism in the Grip of Justice" which features confession videos of insurgents. The LA Times warns us that

while it's not clear just how truthful the videos are, the provocative images seem to bolster skeptical Iraqis' confidence in a government often assailed as ineffective against lawlessness and violence.

Rules of evidence and warnings against self-incrimination don't appear to be much of an issue, as Iraqis remain glued to their screens while emotionless insurgents speak of serial beheadings and other atrocities. The program occasionally switches from confessions to insurgents' tapes of the same beheading or other form of killing.

I sense an idea for a new theme for the next Maury!
