"They brought in the entire press core. The want to sanitize the story!" Sydney Schanberg says in The Killing Fields as the U.S Army brings in the international press score to report on the accidental bombing of Neak Leung.The statement gets to the heart of what The Killing Fields is about, culpability for horrors committed during the Cambodian conflict -- who tries to hide from that, and who stands up. It's a dramatized version of experiences documented by the film's three main characters and real-life journalists: Dith Pran, Sydney Schanberg and Jon Swain. It explores the rule of the Khmer Rouge, the damage caused to Cambodia, and the execution of many citizens.

Alex Simmons produced Vanguard's "War Crimes," about veterans who have been charged with violent crimes.
In the last two years the Army has drastically cut the number of "personality disorder" designations, increasingly diagnosing soldiers instead with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
This change comes after The Nation reported that thousands of soldiers at the height of the Iraq War may have been misdiagnosed, and were thus unable to seek treatment for what they really have -- PTSD.

In this episode of Vanguard, correspondent Kaj Larsen investigates the alarming rise in the number of soldiers who have been traumatized by war and are now accused of bringing the violence home. Of the more than 2 million men and women who have served in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as many as a third of them may now have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. A growing number of these vets are being charged with violent crimes, and Kaj travels to prisons and mental health facilities in Arizona, Colorado and Oregon to hear their stories.

Please see Gordon King Welke in VALOUR ROAD - heritage moment
Keep up the awesome work Kaj Larsen! Being that i have some military friends up here in frozen Canada, and i myself served a whopping 2 months as an MP Reservist in Canada (and several years in police college and some high end and very low end security), i would love to know more about your military life, if at all possible. Even more importantly, I think, and believe that your personal point of view is one that we really need, just like we need those trained and untrained POV's from as many varied professions, personality types and cultures as physically and mentally possible. OH, Kaj and current.com team, you can see me in my first EVER on camera acting role which can you believe is STILL airing all over the world on television semi-regularly and in movie theatres and it's called "Valour Road" which is a Heritage Moment depicting Canadian History like the story of three soldiers from the same street, called Pine Street who became Heroes in WW1. They were all awarded the highest award for honor in Canada. Therefore the Government of Canada changed the name of their Pine Street to Valour Road in honor of all three men's personal valour in WW1. Simply GOOGLE VALOUR ROAD and I am the soldier on the ground caught in small and heavy arms fire and i am saved at the end of the 60 second spot. Valour Road was initially designed and filmed for on 35mm film with a big budget for an all Canadian TV Spot. It's airing in international theatres, television networks and now all over the internet. Incidentally, can you believe i was rigged for explosives and squibs and surrounded by even more small triggered explosives for my scenes. Now, to date i have been paid all of about $600.00 for all of that so called PSA time aired. It is not nor was it ever a straight PSA, it has always been sponsored by some crown (crown means partial government partial private corporation). I was a little ashamed when recently a national broadcaster up here in Canada (our biggest national broadcaster called "ICTV" which means "Ice Cold Television Viewing" (ha, ha)) featured a story about one of the last, if not the last surviving Canadian WW1 Hero Soldier passing on. The "a little ashamed part" came when they wrongly superimposed a still photo of me in Character right over the actual photo of this WW1 photograph of the last surviving WW1 hero soldier (i greatly apologize for not posting the soldier's name). Although i did not see this with my own eyes, i was literally approached by strangers on the streets of downtown Toronto ( they had actulally seen me around the neighborhood previously) as i was approached by friends and acquaintances as well on the subject. I was shocked (although i do honestly admit that i was partly thrilled at the much needed marketing injection to my own producer/filmmaker career).
On to the show...This is a totally unplanned, unpaid for, unscripted and 100% improved video I did with partner Leona Sackaney. I'm Gordon King Welke, professional actor, up and coming current.com producer, writer, reporter, production manager, coffee maker!
This is my 70th actual video uploaded over the past 10 months. Although i did write, direct and produce a slew of pretty good psa's on 16mm and 35mm film, I did take a self imposed hiatus from every aspect of the entertainment, media and arts industries. After a Seven Year rest, I am back but i'm back as a dude who knows not how to use the technology! So, over the past 10 months i have been reading tech manuals, watching tutorials, and just DOING DOING and DOING shooting and trying to first get it in a twelve year old slow computer and then edit it after adding all kinds of wires, meg cards etc etc...
SO, video SEVENTY is just that...video # 70 where we are trying to develop some easy to shoot and edit templates where we can help small businesses get on the international social web-site media train of 2010 and on!
Thanks to you all current.com but Kaj Larsen, you have been a huge inspiration to me and my partner Leona over the past 12 months. You actually literally inspired me and Leona directly to go and get some digital equipment and just learn it (instead of just Do IT, Just Learn It, ...ha,ha) Gordon King Welke - Valour Road, Trial By Jury (Universal/Morgan Creek)...and our little online company "bitzNbitez t.v.Please see Gordon King Welke in VALOUR ROAD - heritage moment

In this season of Vanguard, correspondent Kaj Larsen once again takes up a controversial subject that hits close to home -- whether veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder may be more likely to commit violent crimes after returning home from combat.
"War Crimes" premieres Wednesday, July 7, at 10/9c on Current TV.
Larsen was trained how to deal with waterboarding as a Navy SEAL, but a day off while on assignment for Current in Cambodia led him to put himself through the controversial interrogation technique once more. In this exclusive Vanguard extra, Kaj talks about the legacy of waterboarding that dates back to the Khmer Rouge and the impact his story had on the policy debate.

In this scene from Vanguard's "War Crimes," correspondent Kaj Larsen investigates why Colorado Springs has become ground zero in what may be a coming tsunami: the alarming rise in the number of soldiers who have been traumatized by war and are now accused of bringing the violence home. Since the start of the Iraq War, 17 soldiers from nearby Fort Carson have been charged with murder or attempted murder.
Of the more than 2 million men and women who have served in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as many as a third of them may now have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. A growing number of these vets are being charged with violent crimes, and Kaj travels to prisons and mental health facilities in Arizona, Colorado and Oregon to hear their stories.

The precarious political climate in Ethiopia is no secrete. However, the hidden genocidal massacres in Ethiopia's Ogaden/Somali region or Zone 5 is very much ignored by the international community. Specifically ignored by the U.S. which has given Ethiopia more then 2 billion in aid. The Ogaden region of Ethiopia is largely invisible to the world due to the lack of coverage on the issues. Today, many are faced with man made famine caused by the blockade of trade (live stock, etc) imposed on the civilians by it's own government, the plethora of aid that is deliberately withheld, and the difficult conditions for humanitarian organizations that continually get kicked out of the country. There have been civilian lynchings, murders, life imprisonments without trails, burnings of villages, and killings in village centers to set examples.
The interesting story that I'd love Current TV to cover is the long and dangerous journey to escape the Ogaden region into the borders of Kenya by foot. This journey does not end in Kenya and the young men who are luckily strong enough to raise funds on their own or have family in places like the States who are able to afford to send them money, go on to buy passports. They travel to South Africa to find/buy a visa to Cuba, from Cuba to Baliz, from Baliz, to El Salvador/Columbia where they take the journey all the way to the borders of San Diego where they are arrested and assigned a Lawyer. Here, they attempt to seek asylum and finally reach the end of their long and dangerous journey. Many end up stranded in countries where they don't speak the language. They are forced to find the strength to find work, learn the language, and go ont to continue the journey as soon as possible.
Often, the families that send these young men the money to attempt these long and dangerous quests are on Welfare, in Section 8 housing, and are struggling to make ends meet here in the U.S. They spend all their savings or find family members who are willing to contribute for the hope that their loved one's (brothers, sons, and Cousins) will soon join them.
It's a story that needs to be told especially since WE are directly supporting a murderous government with our tax dollars. As Americans we should be aware of how our money and aid is spent and we have the right to know when we are directly supporting genocidal massacres. The interest for Ethiopia to continue to illegally occupy the Ogaden region is largely due to Oil discovery. Ethiopia has been attempting to explore the Ogaden basins but because of dangerous rebel ambushes from the indigenous civilians it has been so far proved unsuccessful.The precarious political climate in Ethiopia is no secrete.

Hey everybody, sorry I have been absent for a few weeks, I was shooting a story in Colombia about some new developments in Narcotrafficking. It was a wild adventure. We are still in the middle of production on the story but look for it in next seasons Vanguard.
I wanted to write today about some of my friends at Doctors Without Borders. Quite frankly Doctors without Borders (known more commonly as MSF) is an invaluable organization for us to collaborate with here at Vanguard. The reason is two-fold. One, MSF acts as the front line eyes and ears for the journalism community. In difficult situations where sometimes the ground truth is obscured by distance, uncooperative governments, nefarious actors, and apathy, MSF is often a great source of unadulterated truth in a land of agendas. I sympathize with them because their agenda is really to provide aide not get sucked into local politics. I've seen this time and time again in places like Yemen and Colombia. The second factor is that often we (Vanguard) couldn’t go to the places we go, without the assistance of MSF. Its often too remote and too dangerous. So naturally when you are sleeping in a small MSF house in a place like Yemen and sharing meals of dubious nutritional value, a lot of bonding occurs. I still maintain contact with some of the doctors I have worked with overseas, and I can tell you they are the most committed and noble group of individuals I have ever encountered in the face of abject difficulty and despair. However, even the most stoic of these doctors can’t help but be impacted by the circumstances they find themselves in.
If you are interested in the life of a humanitarian volunteer, I highly recommend you check out this film called Living in Emergency, a critically acclaimed independent documentary that interweaves the stories of four MSF doctors in war-torn Congo and post-conflict Liberia.
Untitled from LivinginEmergency on Vimeo.
I think the film gives an amazing portrayal of the difficulties facing these kind of humanitarian volunteers as they battle disease, destitution, violence, and poverty.

Over the past few months, Kaj Larsen and I have been working on a show about military technology. Its called Remote Control War and it airs tonight on Current. To film elements for the show, we went all over the place! From a Texas military installation, to a backyard in Tennessee, to a mall outside of Philly --we set out to see some of the likely and unlikely incubators of military technology.
This shoot, like other Kaj Larsen stories, required a bit of show and tell.
Kaj got to shoot the AA-12, a fully automatic shotgun, drive a ground robot using a controller that looks like an x-box remote and tested his gaming skills on simulated “bang-bang” video games. Of all the technologies Kaj tested out, I think he had the most luck with the AA-12. Because Kaj is a former Navy SEAL, he’s pretty good when it comes to anything that fires!

Last week was the 20th anniversary of the breaching of the Berlin Wall. It also found President Barack Obama still deliberating about what to do with the US Commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McCrystal’s request for 40,000 more American troops. If you think about the kind of world that we began to enter 20 years ago, perhaps the two events of last week are somehow related.
As I mentioned briefly last Thursday, in March of 1989 in Budapest, Hungary, I covered the first breach of what used to be called the Iron Curtain—the physical, coercive, and legal barriers keeping the people in Communist eastern Europe from entering western Europe. Back then, I didn’t know the significance of what I was seeing in Budapest. But when the Wall fell in November of 1989, it was assumed, via Cold War logic, that the East Germans pouring through the wall were joining us, that we had won and they had lost. Because that’s how the zero sum logic of the era worked.
Coincidentally, in October of 1989, the month before the Berlin Wall began to fall, I was working in Afghanistan, where under an agreement between the US and the Soviet Union, Soviet troops had recently withdrawn after a decade of futilely struggling against Afghan insurgents who had been supplied with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in weaponry by the Reagan Administration. Part of the agreement leading to the Soviet troop pull-out was that the US would stop funding the insurgents.
And that made sense under the logic of the Cold War, where you had to either be in the Soviet camp or the American camp. Once the Soviets left Afghanistan, the insurgents were in our camp, and would do our bidding, regardless if we continued to pay them or not.
But maybe when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed two years later, we didn’t assume control of the whole world. Maybe we entered a different world.
In May of 1994, I went to Afghanistan with Lisa Ling, and we found it far from US control, or anyone’s control. After the Soviet pull-out, the insurgents fought on, first driving out the Soviet installed government, and then, turning their US supplied weapons on one another. In speaking engagements, Lisa sometimes mentions our visit, because while I was rolling on Lisa doing a stand-up in the midst of some insurgents, one of them, an adolescent who didn’t know how old he was, pointed his weapon at us and threatened to kill us—or at least pointed his weapon at us and made me jump, and it’s tough to jump with a 22 pound betacam on your shoulder but you can check the footage and see that I did.
A few years later, in January of 1997, Lisa and I drove from Peshawar, Pakistan, to Kabul, Afghanistan, a few weeks after a new group called the Taliban had captured the Afghan capital. By then, it was impossible to imagine that the anyone every had control of this place. Ten years to the week of that visit, I was back in Kabul with Kaj Larsen. In the intervening decade, the Taliban had been defeated by the US, after a brief post-9/11 bombing campaign, and then re-vitalized.
And now we have the dilemma that President Obama is facing, and thanks to the events of 20 years ago last week, facing it in a world that might not be zero sum game, where one side loses and the other wins, but something more uncontrolled, where all sides might be able to win, if Thomas Friedman and his “race to the top” theory is correct—albeit tough to believe in during this year of terrible economic decline—but it might also be a world where all sides can lose, because there might be no entity enforcing the rules.
