PAKISTAN: CHILDREN OF THE TALIBAN
"Even more disturbing than footage of the physical wreckage are interviews with children, including girls whose education has been cut short by school-destroying Taliban. Most horrifying is the film of young Pakistani boys preparing to become suicide bombers or servants in other ways to Islamic radicals."
-- Nancy DeWolf Smith, The Wall Street Journal
