Note: High Definition

 


Saddam was found in a hole yesterday and a major international criminal trial is ahead. From the cradle of civilization a most rare opportunity to investigate the darker side of man has arisen. Let's ask to see this trial from beginning to end in HDTV--not for the beauty of it but rather to better perceive the hidden character of those on trial. The more truth we gain about the mind and body of evil the more we are forearmed against it.  HDTV...will it help in this regard? be a neutral? or be a hindrance? What do you think?
