wnyc's brian lehrer talked to arun rath, this morning, regarding an upcoming frontline pbs show on a popular play in calcutta titled "starring osama", which portrays osama as a hero of sorts (at least according to arun rath). the program airs on frontline on the 12th of june:

unfortunately google did not yield any further information about the play.
i wonder how long before this gets picked up by fox and we get another wave of violence against sikhs in the US.
What they have done to Frontline is a fucking disgrace. During the 1980s they had hard-hitting investigative pieces on the contra war, etc. Since 9/11 it has basically functioned as an outlet of the Pentagon with one hysterical report after another on "terrorist threats" to the USA.
