It's a matter of he says, she says. "State of Fear" is about the rise and fall of Alberto Fujimori from the point of view of a view middle and upper class citizens of Peru. They tell how much they loved Fujimori until he went "overboard" in taking the personal liberties of Peruvians away. It goes over the major events of Peru during Fujimori's time as president.

"The Fall of Fujimori" is from the point of view of President Fujimori. As he tells us, he did everything he did for the sake of Peru. He's not a murderer or corrupt.

The story of the "Tipton 3". Detailed and graphic view of their vacation and soon to be marriage of one of them. Like normal young men, they don't keep up on current events. September 11th had just happened and it was time for a marriage, so they go back to Pakistan to get married. They do the tourist thing and decide to visit Afghanistan. The get captured by the Northern Alliance and get turned over to the U. S. They are then sent to Guantoanmo and it takes 2 years for the U. S. to figure out that they are just 3 lads from Tipton.

What a glorious world we live in.
