Three young Americans known collectively as Blakkbox travel to Lebanon during the height of the 2006 July War between the Israeli Military and Hezbollah. This second pod of the seven episode series covers one of the most toxic oil spills in the Middle East.

    • I like that you guys give the entire story and how the conflict impacts all walks of life. I like it, but it''s frustrating to hear.

    • Awesome, guys. I can''t wait to see more.

      I''m curious as to why some people are so bitter about your "angle" (if any) in reporting these stories. I find it extremely interesting that most journalists reported from Israel, where I assume it was "safer" to be. As your pods unravel, we''re seeing the major destruction that Israel unnecessarily inflicted upon Lebanon. Not just Hezbollah, which resides in a concentrated area, I understand. The rampant bombing -- and now we see, this oil spill that NO ONE reported about -- is grotesque.

      Doesn''t anyone recall the guy who "lives in ''Bell Garden''" (California) said? "I want to say something to you American people...big difference between the people and the government. You are very nice...I love you."

      Obviously, there''s a big difference between Lebanese people and their government, too.

      I''m really looking forward to what else you guys experienced. Thank you so much for doing this, and thanks, Current TV, for airing blakkbox.

    • I just Saw it on TV. Better than the first pod for sure, but I think the first one was good too! The first pod depends on the other pods, so if teh rest of the series is good than great. And judging by this one, things are looking great! I really feel bad about the oil spill/ecological degredation and would love to do something to help. Is greenpeace in Lebanon?

    • Putting Blakkbox on the air was the best thing that Current T.V. has ever done. Blakkbox is not only full of smart people, but they''re sexy as well.

    • These are some gutsy dudes and this is some incredible journalism! I don''t remember Anderson Cooper, in his bullet proof vest, getting kisses from locals during the conflict! Kudos to Current TV for their perfect timing in presenting these videos. If we had seen this a year ago, its impact would have been lost in the chaos.
